I recently decided I wanted some of the best Wrestling books on the market, so I purchased Eddie Guerrero - Cheating Death Stealing Life, Mick Foley: Have a Nice Day and Ric Flair: To Be The Man.

I realised that by purchasing and reading this book it would be a bitter sweet experience as Eddie's death hit me like a brick to the head, after a tremendous day of wrestling on the Saturday before, but after following Eddie's career for the last nine years - from WCW - WWE - I thought I owe it to myself to buy this book.

The one thing that is missing in a lot of wrestling books is honesty.

Well do not worry as in this book that is not a factor at all. This is a truly honest (brutally at times) account of Eddie Guerrero's life. There are items that are addressed that wrestling fans might be aware of.

Regarding the fight with Michael Hegstrand (aka Road Warrior Hawk) in Japan, you get to hear Eddie's extremely honest account of the incident and others up to and including the backstage incident in WWE with Charlie Haas,  Eddie gives another honest account of this too.

There are things which we, as wrestling fans, were not aware of.

Why after a successful tour of Japan, Eddie could not get booked in Mexico. The incredibly brutal recall of WCW backstage politics. The almost fatal car crash in December '98. Eddie's trials and tribulations with drug and alcohol addiction. His redemption with his Winning of the WWE Title at WWE No Way Out in '04.

Those are just a few things covered in this book, but everything is covered in great detail with an honesty that can't be matched in any other wrestling book that I have read to date.

This is the most honest account of a person’s life I have ever read. This book makes you believe that you knew the real Eddie Guerrero, even though I will never unfortunately get to meet the man.

This book also makes you understand why, in the days following Eddie's death, there were over 150,000 e-mails and messages of condolences sent to his family. If you are an Eddie fan or a wrestling fan you owe it to yourself to purchase this book, personally this is the best £12 I have ever spent.
