Chris Jericho's autobiography is phenomenal. Truly a great read. He is one of those that earned what he got. This was a die hard fan and his love affair began with the AWA. His humble beginnings are there. His stuff about Mexico and Japan was great. His style is very witty and almost comes off as a conversation instead of written word. The guy has character and it through in his story. I have read most of the newer wrestling bios and this ranks right up there with Mick Foley's first book, Eddy's book, and Terry Funk's in the fact that you get a great synopsis of their career but a great insight to what got them where they are. It is candid and yet not chest thumping ego boost of a tale. His obsession as a teen age fan reminds me a little of me. This is a must read for any wrestling fan. I like how he went right up the start of his WWF run allowing a sequel which is now slated to come out. I was a fan of Jericho's work, and am now a fan of the man himself, he is quite a character with great character. I respect the fact he never for got anyone that helped him in his journey Let me know if this sounds like something you may want to borrow Dave. Just so y'all know I got it in paper back. Six bucks at Sprawlmart is way better than $25 for hard cover. I had wanted this book and when I saw it in paper back I had to get it, and my only regret is that I waited so long to get it.
