I really enjoyed this book. I had more fun reading this than his first autobiography. When I was reading that I was more aware of what was going on. But when Jericho debuted in WWE I wasn't watching wrestling at that time so it was nice to read something that I wasn't really sure what's going on. That being said it was surprising how he wasn't highly regarded when he first started in the company. I liked how this book included a lot of his band Fozzy and thier touring highs and lows. I've been listening to Fozzy for a while but I didn't know all that much about them. The Benoit chapter was heartbreaking. You could tell that Jericho was really struggling with how to deal with his best friend murdering his wife and child. I never cry when I read books but this was a rare time that I actually did. Jericho struggled with trying to figure out how to deal with the happening and how a man who he thought he respected and loved could do that to his family. (I am almost in the same boat, I respect him and am still confused how that could happe) it was sad to see that every time Jericho mentioned a match he had with Benoit that it didn't exist anymore and like his favorite matches no longer exist in the world of WWE. There were a few times however, when I thought that the book was a bit forced. The awkward moments of him trying to hard to get the reader to laugh. There were actually maybe about a dozen or so times I did that but other times it was just a bit too much.

This is the, I guess you could say, 'sequel' to his first autobiography 'A Lion's Tale'. It picks up right where the first book left off and again it just shows how hilarious and entertaining of a writer Chris Jericho is. Though I think I like the first book just a little bit more, this one was just as good.

I did not read A Lion's Tale. With that said, I expected a lot from this book, as I've been a Jerichoholic since his WWE debut in 1999. Chris Jericho more than delivers. I found myself laughing hysterically at many of the quotes and stories he shared and crying at the chapters about his mother and Chris Benoit. This book certainly helped me gain a new and deeper respect for this incredibly talented man. I look forward to the next exciting installment in this rollercoaster ride of his life's journey!
The stories from being both a wrestler and lead singer of band that Chris Jericho tells are some of the most amusing things I have read, partly because they are funny and partly because of how he tells them. Anyone who is a Chris Jericho fan would really enjoy this book.
A great 2nd book from Chris Jericho! I didn't know if this one could live up to A Lion's Tale, but it definitely did. Just as funny and well written as the first one, I couldn't put this book down. I loved reading about his WWE career, Fozzy, and his attempt to break into Hollywood. Hopefully a third book will be in the works and we'll see more Chris Jericho on tv!

This book was entertaining, from cover to cover. An excellent book, and an insightful look into the life and career of one of wrestling's greatest entertainers.
Jericho proved as entertaining a storyteller here as he is a performer, singer, and actor. A definite recommendation for any fan of wrestling, heavy metal, Jericho, the WWE, or any combination thereof.

This is my favorite of Jericho's three books simply because I grew up watching him wrestle when this book takes place. I love his humor in his writing and getting to read about what was going on behind the scenes when I was watching him every week was fascinating.
