The best wrestling book there is, the best wrestling book there was and maybe even the best wrestling book there ever will be

Packed with drugs, sex, vicious family in-fighting and tales of life on the road ... Hart names names and lays it all bare in his own words'

A legend!

Bret Hart still makes me believe that wrestling is good

Amazingly detailed and meticulously crafted ... Hitman will stand the test of time as one of the definitive wrestling biographies

Bret Hart is the best there is, the best there was, the best there ever will be

Wrestling fans will eat up all the backstage drama, but even those who don't care for the shows should be impressed by Hart's meticulous eye for telling detail-the bittersweet story that results is simultaneously a celebration and an exposé

A different class... superb insight

Compelling, entertaining and woven together with particular style and grace... O'Gara is up with the greats

He should be commended for his frankness. It certainly defines this tome in contrast to the usual drudgery of rugby autobiographies

Since so many sports efforts in this genre tend to reveal very little, a memoir like O'Gara's, one with real bite and new insight, makes for a markedly refreshing read. The book is laced with fleshy anecdotes. All make for bona fide eyebrow arching, giggle-inducing, page turning stuff

It is to O'Gara's credit that his autobiography remains true to his personality. It is a compellingly candid read... There is a sense of singularity about O'Gara that takes him into places others find uncomfortable... few men walk the walk better than Munster and Ireland's No. 10

This engrossing book sails straight between the posts

Arguably the best Irish book of the year... told with flawless skill

The perfect present for any rugby fan. It shows the goldfish-bowl aspect to life as a modern-day sporting legend and gives an insight into what it's like on the inside looking out

Whether you are a rugby fan or not, this book is likely to please... This honest autobiography will provide an intriguing read for the Christmas period

Compelling reading
