Final insallment of the Titan series, the one covering the year leading to Wrestlemania XIV, as with the prior two books this is an interesting peek into the behind the scens stories of the WWF and the expanding Monday Night War with WCW.
I enjoyed this very much, I was well and truly into the WWF at this time and it is nice being able to go back in time and relive the journey.
What tickles me is with all the posturing of Shawn and Bret, they both were seceded by a stronger Austin within 6 months, and the WWF was all the better for it.

Similar standard to the previous volume with much the same positives and negatives (genuine insight contrasted with filler content and smarky posturing). This one is particular reads like the author resorted to a thesaurus frequently due to the sheer number of esoteric descriptors and verbs used (the novice mistake of believing if you write "said" or similar too many times it's bad writing) which results in comically out of place words being used at times. Again, the core of this is worth reading and could maybe have been a 4 star with better (or any?) editorial oversight.

An excellent ending to a brilliant trilogy. The authors have managed to weave the events not just of 1997 but also the beginning of 1998.
At first I found the chopping and changing pace of this book a lot different to the first two books. However after a while it became apparent that the need to change helped tell not just the facts but the amazing story.
If you are a fan of Pro Wrestling or you were in the late 90's then definitely give this a read!

What a good read.
Even though i knew everything that happened in the greatest year in wrestling ever, i still found new and fascinating information.
Every little backstage interaction that was shown in this was gripping and tense to read through.I cant possibly imagine how it was for the people that were at the centre of all of this.
All in all the book is well informed and researched and gives alot of new stuff for pro wrestling enthusiasts and hardcore fans alike.

A nice end to the trilogy
Enjoyed the continuation of the previous two and I'm glad that it didn't end at the end of 1997, finishing at 'Mania 98 instead.
