 A must for Women's wrestling enthusiasts March 31, 2007
2 out of 2 found this review helpful
This is a credible and important biography of a woman who played a part in wrestling's surge to national popularity. Amy Dumas really did come out of no where to become a household name. From strip clubs to mexican rings to minor valet status, Dumas crafted her talent and charisma to develop the character Lita. Not even a serious neck injury, which she suffered acting and not wrestling, has stopped her. This book, along with Fighting Girls, are the two best books dealing with women's wrestling that I have read.

Before reading this book, I'd been a wrestling fan for 10+ years, reading various autobiographies, most of which were "Oh, I love wrestling, I'm a wrestler, I don't like eggs, bye.". This book is different to anything you expect it to be -- it's better. At first, I wasn't too sure about getting it, but I had spare money one week and decided "what the hell". I picked it up as soon as it arrived, opened the first page and decided to skim through it.. but it sucks you in, you HAVE to read it all. I didn't sleep for one night and read it all in one sitting. It's gripping.
It tells of the times when she was a child, feeling like an outcast, being brought in by a music genre and their family, the days that she was so hard up for cash that she had to go dumpster-diving, her job as a stripper, the only job she could manage without fixed hours or pay that she needed to do as much training to wrestle as possible, all up until her neck injury and rehab, the book was released shortly after the rehab, I believe. This book is captivating in every way, she is a beautiful, strong woman, strong willed, and doesn't come off as the least bit light headed. She tells of how she was mistreated by family as a child -- it's in no way the uplifting happy-happy book of the century, but it has it's ups and downs, but it's an honest tale of a woman's life, her quest to reach every goal that she wants to accomplish. I strongly suggest you buy this book - you will not be dissapointed.
I wasn't a fan before, but I am now. The WWE are fools for not letting her unleash her true talent.
 Inspiring? Great book? Are you guys insane? July 18, 2006

HORRIBLE!!! Very slow, vey boring, and I walked away from this thinking Lita has got to be one of the stupidest people on the planet. Pathetic.

Lita's life story is very inspiring the way she remained true to herself throughout her entire life.I think she is one of the most talented female wrestlers today.In the book she tells every part of her life very bluntly and keeps the entire book very exciting.Over all it is a great read for any WWE fan
One of the best books ever written January 7, 2006
I began watching wrestling a little over a year ago and I fell in love with Lita she is so awesome. I got the book this December for christmas it was really good. The others are right it feels like you are actually there with her following her through her life as if you are a friend. I usually don't like biographys but this one was really good. Of course you would have to like Lita aka Amy Dumas to enjoy it. I definitely recommend this book.
