Interesting, but shallow Jan 03, 2000
By patrick mosher I'm a high school wrestler and avid Dan Gable fan. I could not have been more thrilled to get this book. It was a good book if you're an avid wrestling fan. The only problem was, like many people said, it was shallow and neglected to convey the emotion and the blood, sweat, and tears all these wrestlers have put in their whole lifes for this sport. It also neglected to talk much about Gable's wrestling career, just giving quick stats here and there. I think it would have been a lot better if a wrestler wrote it (Nolan Zavoral is obviously not). Other, than that it was a page turner and I finished it in about 4 days. Pretty good for a guy who had never previously read a book all the way through.

Didn't do wrestling and Gable justice Aug 28, 1999
I enjoyed this book because I am a die hard wrestling fan. It is so hard to find any book about the REAL sport of amateur wrestling, and so I devoured every word. However, I agree with others who write that "something" was missing. I think that that is because the author must not really grasp the nature of the sport as he certainly did not capture nor convey its essence, intensity or the spirit of the legendary coach. The writers lack of ardor coupled with lack of understanding for the passion involved within the wrestling family is what led , I believe, to the "flatness" of his account. I could have done better!!

Not a wrestler, barely a fan... Mar 15, 2007
By f. dupp ...but you can't help but be taken in by the story of Dan Gable. The lessons that he preaches, and embodies, go way beyond the mat--perserverance, hard work, dedication, and perhaps most importantly, leading by example.
For that reason, I enjoyed the book, and got through it pretty quickly. I would have no reservations about recommending this book based on that alone.
But, I'll admit, it gets bogged down quite a bit as it becomes a point-by-point recap of the season. Starts to feel like the same things over and over again. I'll agree with other posters who say that it may have lacked some of the intensity and emotion that it could have had. For that, I would recommend "Four days to Glory." An awesome book on high-school wrestling that seems to be to do a better job of making you feel the drama of what wrestlers go through and why they do what they do.
I'd say buy both of these books for a pretty complete picture of Iowa wrestling "from cradle to grave." The afterword in the paperback version of "A season on the mat" does a good job of bringing closure to both books (hard to explain, but you'll see what I mean).

Great Read May 23, 2001
This book is a must for the hardcore wrestling fan. I am not a fan, but was won over by the dedication and intensity it takes to excel. Gable is a complex man, but he loved his kids and pushed them to do their best. I would have loved to compete for him.

Simply Inspiring Oct 25, 1999
This is one of the most inspiring books on wrestling I have read. When I push my self I think of how much Gable would push himself so much more and that inspires me.
