Review: Pain and Gain - The Untold True Story
Pain and Gain - The Untold True Story by Marc Schiller
My rating: 3 of 5 stars
This is the book written by the victim of the crime portrayed in the Pain & Gain movie. I wanted to read it to separate fact from fiction. Schiller's account tells a tale of weeks of privation, degradation and torture at the hands of crooks lacking in competency and humanity. It is an easy and lucid read with two main parts: imprisonment in the warehouse in near total sensory deprivation and working w/PI Du Bois to catch the crooks in a world where police, etc. do not believe his story.
