Book Reviews of Busted: The Rise and Fall of Art Schlichter
Book Review: This book is a home run!
Summary: 5 Stars
This was one of those books I just couldn't put down. I kept reading until my eyes gave out. I have had my own addiction issues mainly with alcohol and to a lesser degree sports betting and the book had me spellbound. I was fascinated with Art's meteoric rise through the ranks of high school and college football, culminating with being the #4 pick in the NFL draft. It was equally shocking to see Art's free fall, eventually winding up in a maximum security prison. In between there's more insanity than you could ever imagine.
Summary of Busted: The Rise and Fall of Art Schlichter
Art Schlichter was a football God; was being the key word. After playing starting quarterback for coaches Woody Hayes and Earle Bruce at the Ohio State University, he was picked in the first round of the 1982 NFL draft by the Baltimore Colts. His star faded when his demons turned him into a gambling addict; swapping his life of football promise for one that would leave him outrunning the mob and the feds, stealing from his own mother and leaving his wife to care for two baby girls as he made 40 different prisons his home over ten years. An unimaginable fall from greatness, Schlichter tells the story of his trips to heaven and hell to sportswriter Jeff Snook.Compulsive Behavior Books
