 One of the best....... August 3, 2008
Must admit that the size of the book was daunting as I was expecting pages of analysis on why wrestling is what it is, and what can be done about it (ala Mick Foleys second book) but I was pleasantly surprised to read a brilliant piece of work.
Bret Hart pulled no punches writing about the sport, the wrestlers, promoters, his family and most importantly himself. He is open in discussing his affairs and drug use.
Bret's love for his family (ok, for most of the family) is heartfelt and discussing the passing of his father was a tough read as it was so emotional.
While it is but one man's version of the events in the book, Hart's story does have a ring of truth to it.
Quite possible the best wrestling book ever written.
A True Hero July 24, 2008
Only a hero would expose the real and honest truth and that is what this is. I got it signed by Bret the same day I got it. Hes a great person and will always be my hero!
AMAZING BOOK!!! GREAT BOOK TO READ!! July 14, 2008
I am a huge Bret "The Hitman" Hart fan and when I read his book I was amazed. It really gives you an insight as to who Bret is and how he became this world wide phenomenon and how it all came down. He mentions his early life as a professional wrestler, how he met his wife...etc. Overall I really enjoyed the book. And if you are a fan of his I really recommend it. I really liked the pictures of his family. The book contains a lot of happiness, sadness, it's funny,...etc. Must read.
Best There Is, Best There Was, Best There Ever Will Be July 3, 2008
This book has been hyped as an encyclopedic tome; the best wrestling autobiography ever written, and there are not understatements. Simply put, this is one of the best books, not just autobiographies, that I have ever had the pleasure of reading.
 The best wrestling book there is, was and ever will be! June 23, 2008
This is a fantastic book. Reading this book was the only time I never wanted my train rides home from work to end. I didn't want this book to end, period!
Yes Bret does have a very high opinion of himself, loves to pat himself on the back, is still bitter about a lot of things, and will surprise you by how much of a mark he is (he took his work so seriously you got the impression Bret would fool himself into thinking it was all real), but at the same time Bret is also an honest, prideful man with dignity and he pulls no punches in this book whether he is discussing his fellow wrestlers, his infidelities, his occasional drug use, and most importantly his family. I have a lot of respect for the man. The life he lived during his career certainly wasn't an easy one.
Bret's accounts of travelling the world are also fascinating to read.
The bottom line is if you are a fan of Bret Hart or a wrestling fan in general you owe it to yourself to read this book.
Thanks Bret for an awesome read.
