Takes you to the Mat 
“Four Days of Glory,” was a super read. Kreidler takes us right into the hard, lonely world of high school wrestling. It was great following these two wrestlers as they deal with all the pressures of trying to accomplish a huge feat. It’s not just about takedowns and nearfalls, it’s about fathers and sons, hometown hero’s and an obsession with goals. Very entertaining…It’s “Friday Night Lights,” for wrestling in the state of Iowa.
A Major Decision 
I couldn’t put the book down. Keidler captured the essence of the epic journey of both the wrestlers and their families. He exposes some of the evils involved in youth programs and with parenting yet doesn’t dwell on the negatives, allowing the reader to make his or her own judgement. After reading the book a trip to the Iowa State Wrestling Finals has been added to my bucket list of sporting events to see. As a non-wrestler I have always admired the dedication and spirit of the sport and this book provided even more appreciation. The ultimate compliment I can give the book is that since finishing it I find myself checking the progress of the wrestlers as they compete in college. Kreidler really stuck it!!
Five stars for Four Days to Glory 
A great read on two wrestlers who seek greatness in Iowa High School wrestling. The book focuses on the intensity and drive required to be the best. As someone who doensn’t live in Iowa, I came away with an appreciation of how big wrestling is in Iowa. Drama, challenges and interesting characters are all here. This is one of the very few books that I will re-read.
Great book 
Well written book. Couldn’t put it down. Best wrestling book I’ve read. Accurately depicts the rabidness of wrestling fans.
Very good book 
Good book for any wrestler who wants to understand what it takes to become a great wrestler. Well written and honest.
