It usually takes me a month, maybe two to read a good, long book. This one I read in about 5 days because it was that fascinating and that well done that I could not put it down. The overriding feeling I got from the book was how wrestling had virtually yanked the Hart family from yin to yang, particularly in how they all responded to Owen Hart's tragedy and the various other tragedies in the family.

One of the best books I've ever read. I've read a few wrestling ones, Bischoff, Ric Flair, Superstar Billy Graham, One Fall (if you can find it, a very good fiction story), Death of WCW and a few other lambastes of the WWE, but this book is so far ahead of any of them its not even worth doing a comparison. Wrestling books get a bad reputation because of the corporatised slants they're often forced to take like the Rock's book published by the WWE and Bill Goldberg's, but this book... you could understand everything he says without feeling any allegiance to or against any promotion. Magnificently done.

I bought it a couple of weeks ago and for me to buy anything to do with wrestling is amazing because I despise what it has become. I made a huge exception because I grew up when Bret was at his peak and was only into wrestling because of him. I found it fascinating how he grew up with pro wrestling and all those siblings. I love how he is not censored and just goes all out. Great read and im still not done with it.

Depending on postage and the exchange rate, you might as well try www.bn.com or www.amazon.com . Borders can be very good, but it can be tragically bad too. I found a book that was $14.95 on www.bn.com, albeit American and needing postage, here at Borders its $82.95. They love a mark up!
