Customer Reviews

Andre the giant good read but does focus more on the Andre wrestling career.

It was good but mostly focus on Andre wrestling career. I would have liked a bit more on his life growing up , family history, want it was like growing up being a giant etc.

Loved it

Really good book on the life of an icon. I enjoyed the description of the matches and how quotes are included.

It's good for what it is...

Well someone has to defend this book. OK I can see where a lot of you are coming from...as it would have been nice to have an in-depth bio. But as someone who's a sucker for online "rants" on wrestling matches, I actually like this book. Plus you get transcripts of several promos, another nice slice of wrestling history. I enjoyed it for getting to relive that. But yes, it would make an even better DVD. Come on WWE, where is it?
