Reviews
This compelling book proves the rule that truth is stranger than fiction. One cannot read Pain and Gain without coming away with admiration for the author and contempt for the men who kept him prisoner, tortured him, and tried to kill him. This is not only a story of pure evil, it is a story of strength and renewal. It's also a book that you can't put down once you've started to read it. My hat is off to Marc Schiller for his courage, resilience and talent as a writer.." J. David Bethel, author of Evil Town
"I think that Marc Schiller has done a remarkable job in telling his story; a first-time writer who is recounting a trauma that most individuals couldn't even imagine -- and he's produced a book that is compelling, captivating, and moving. Not to mention inspirational. Schiller didn't turn into a monster bent on revenge; he remained a man with dignity and character, in spite of everything he endured. This is a true story that has, without a solitary doubt, earned the label "remarkable." Trust me when I tell you: Read. This. Book". Keenly Kristin{Book Review}
"Despite having sat through the entire trial, and having heard the live testimony, I still find myself cringing at Marc Schiller's description of his captivity, torture and attempted murder.This book speaks volumes about the evil that some are able to perpetrate and the tragedies that others are able to overcome."
