review 1: Growing up in the same area of the DuPont's, I was interested in this story. However, this book's title is misleading. I actually mentions very little about John DuPont & Dave Schultz. Mark Schultz made this book all about himself. I mean, there is even a full size photo of himself with his gold metal implying he is still "ready to go". Mark Schultz's story comes off as one of a bitter, middle-aged man. It is sad that the tragic event of Dave Schultz's life and his memory are associated with this pathetic excuse of a book.
review 2: Wow what a bore!!! I live in the Villanova area and know the story well. This book is not about the murder, brother Dave or crazy du Pont. It is an egotistical book about the author Mark Scultz. I really had to push throu... moregh the book and almost gave up several times. If it were not a local story and one of our closest friends was a wrestler at Lehigh I would have returned it to the library after 5 chapters. A very big disappointment and have no interest in the movie. less
