Vision Quest

Summary: Go on a Vision Quest and find your place in the circle.
Review: I wrestled in high school, and saw this movie before I read the book. I was nowhere near a state champ, but this story inspired me to do more and work harder than I ever have in my life. It is about goal setting, and dreaming big dreams. Trust me, if you haven't read this DO!!! It is one of the most inspirational books I have ever read, and one of the most quotable as well. It celebrates the triumph of the human spirit. We all have our own Shute to get on the mat with, in all walks of life. You will be inspired by Terry Davis, and the story of a young man who is looking to find his place in the circle. "Ready gentlemen? Let's wrestle!"

Summary: Much better than the movie
Review: Seventeen years ago, as a junior going through a rather undistinguished high school wrestling career and frustrating first relationship with a member of the opposite sex, this book really hit home with me. The story was much more complex than the movie, as were the characters. It was about more than wrestling, it was about the insecurities, fears and hang-ups of a young man trying to find his place in the world. It wasn't just about Loudon's relationships with Carla and Kuch, it was about his whole world. His family, his friends, his teachers. It's a cliche, but it's true. It made me laugh and it made me cry. It still does.

Summary: Excellent - met Terry from Ms. Olson, the blonde at Shadle
Review: This probably won't go anywhere but I met you Terry when I was a Junior, wrestling for Shadle Park. I was at North Central High at a wrestling match when Ms. Olson came up and introduced you to myself and my good friend Brett. You told us about wrestling at Shadle, with I believe Lyle Pugh as your coach. Anyway if this makes it to you that will be great. I'm now 34 and still remember meeting you and I've watched your movie more than once. Thanks for putting "Shadle" on the map. [e-mail]
