Foxcatcher: The True Story of My Brother's Murder, John du Pont's Madness, and the Quest for Olympic GoldFoxcatcher: The True Story of My Brother's Murder, John du Pont's Madness, and the Quest for Olympic Gold by Mark Schultz

My rating: 3 of 5 stars


I read this in anticipation of seeing the movie when it was released. As an autobiography of someone I knew very little about, but had a vague memory of from my youth, I found his life story interesting without being riveting. To a wrestler or fan of wrestling I'm sure the technical detail Mark goes into in regards his matches and training would be fascinating - to a layman it tended to drag a little in places. His relationship and discussion of manner of John du Pont were also interesting. Sure, I may have gone into this expecting a different type of story, but it wasn't the loss many people believe.
