Adam Copeland on Edge by Adam Copeland
3.0
A good look into a WWE wrestler's life, injuries and all. Bad editing, but I'm guessing it's because back in 2004 (Jeeze, 10 frickin years ago!) this was one of only a few licensed, written by the wrestler books out there (along with Mick Foley,) so they weren't exactly spending the big bucks on grammar nazis. Also helpful would have been a glossary of backstage wrestling terms like 'going over,' 'gigging,' and 'pie-faced.' I knew some, but not all, and there aren't context clues for a lot of them.
That said, I find edge to be an interesting, everyday kind of guy, and so I enjoyed reading this account from start to middle of his career. I look forward to a sequel that covers the last ten years, and updates some stories - including how he ended up going into acting. (that's actually why I picked this book up now; I love him on Haven.)
