I received this E book from Netgalley a while back and I thought I already did the review. I did not. This book was basis for the movie about his life that stared Gary Cooper. I found that there was some information inside the book that was different than the movie. Like when he realized that the woman who would later become his wife was interested in him. He went to her hotel at 4 in the morning because that is when he realized what she had told him. Also how the members of the fraternity treated him was worse than what was made out in the film. I liked the love story between him and his wife and how he really did get married at his home by the mayor of the town in front of the workers because of a disagreement between her and his mother. Also at the end it turned out that she knew more about his illness than he did. After he passed and they did an autopsy they found he had over 200 injuries that he never told anyone about. Raging from broken bones to knee, and hip and shoulder. I thought that to be very interesting since now everyone takes days off for everything, and back then they did not have the medical or even the desire to leave the game for fear of losing their place. Overall a very good book and a little different than the movie. A good book for anyone.
