Broken Harts: The Life and Death of Owen Hart

Rating:
Summary: Very Real Reality of the Life & Death of Owen Hart
Review: This book was written by the widow of Owen Hart. Martha Hart describes life with her husband before and after the tragic fall in May of 1999. Very informative and well written. A must read by all wrestling fans. This is by far the best and most real wrestling book there is.

Summary: A very honest tale of a super Husband, Father, and Wrestler
Review: this is a very sad book. if you have read mick foley's first book(Have A Nice Day) then you know how much of a family man Owen was. Well this book only shared more of this great man life. He had values that would not be compromised in any way. You couldnt buy Owen. He was probably the most moral man in the sport at that time, and truley loved his wife and family. This tragic book chronicles his life, growing up in the Hart family home and business(which was wrestling), meeting the love of his life(which he couldnt have found a better woman), establishing himself in the wrestling busines(that he honestly despised, but it paid the bills), and the sad way Mr. Hart had to leave us all. It also chronicals the lawsuit following his death, and the literal hell his beloved wife went through following his death. This is a must read if you were a Owen Hart fan. A truely heart touching and wrenching novel. Thank you Martha Hart for sharing with us things that you didnt have to, but you chose to. So thanks again.

Summary: Best book I've read in years.
Review: While I'm sure wrestling fans will be enthralled to learn about the life and tragic death of this of incredible man, the beauty of Broken Harts is that it's not a wrestling book.
It's an incredibly emotional tale of two high school sweethearts who had had all their dreams shattered thanks to an incredibly negligent WWF stunt that made for the most famous incident in the history of wrestling.
Martha Hart, Owen's widow, reveals what happened the night he fell 78 feet thanks to a stunt designed by a hack who used a flimsy nautical clip to suspend Owen above the ring.
The legal battle and family fight that followed is fascinating to read about as is the raw emotion of the night Martha learned of his death and the days that followed.
I finished the book - as did several of my friends - in two sittings and cried several times. Yet, at the end of the book you're not depressed as hers is a story of triumph over tragedy in many ways.
It's a great read. I'd recommend it to anyone and, remember, I hate wrestling.
