Product Description
Product Description
His way with words has served Adam Copeland well. It was his writing that opened the doors to his future career as a WWE Superstar, when he won a newspaper essay competition for which his prize included free wrestling training. In 2002, while sidelined with a serious neck injury, he began to write a weekly column for wwe.com, giving fans an insight into the life of one of their favourite performers. It was the fan response to this column that led WWE Books to ask him to write his autobiography. ADAM COPELAND ON EDGE takes the reader inside the world of professional wrestling, a world you can only truly know -- and write about -- if you have experienced it in the ring. But more than that, this book also takes you inside the mind of one of wrestling's brightest stars, as with disarming candour he shares his feelings and his reflections, his inspirations, his highs and lows, his goals and ambitions, in thoughtful, articulate detail. You think you know EDGE? Read on and find out...

Format:Paperback
I have read many Wrestling autobiographies and very few come close to Mick Foley's, yet Adam Copeland on EDGE is right up there. The reason this book is so good is that like Foley, Edge wrote the book himself which makes the experience much more personal and funnier as nothing has been lost in translation by a ghost writer. That is the main problem with other autobiographies such as Stone Cold's, HBK's, Hulk Hogan's and even the legendary Ric Flair, but not this. The book covers Edge's life up to the return to the ring after neck surgery. The book is begging a sequel on his retirement and I for one can't wait. The book makes me watch Edge's in ring performances in a different light, and one with far more respect. A must have wrestling autobiography.

This book has turned me into a total Edgehead! You wouldn't believe how much of wrestling is actually real! It's beautifully written, and full of comedy. I certainly hope Copeland writes a second book in the coming years!

If I have one complaint with this book, it is that it was written too soon. A lot of water has passed under Edges's bridge since he wrote this book.
Who is the most dedicated, most loyal, most sincere, most personable, most enthusiastic wrestler in the WWE? - EDGE. Nobody would argue with this.
The author tells us all about his early days his love for his mother and his grandparents, and his rise to 'near' glory. He had not at the time of writing become World Champ. He goes into two hundred plus pages of detail about his matches and feuds and does so in such a manner that the reader thinks they would like to meet this cool dude. He is one of life's optomists and you can feel him smiling whilst he recalls these memories. He also throws in a few witty anecdotes outwith of his ring experiences.
I have already said that her wrote it too soon (mind you it was written whilst he was off injured). Lita has now left; Benoit and Test have died; (Benoit in anything but mentionable circumstances), What of his 'R' rating? His marriage to Vicki? His World Championships? Jay off to TNA and back again; Foley likewise.
Come on Edge! Write a sequal!
Great read though.

Great book
I thought this book was a great read, although it would've been better if Edge waited until his career was over before he wrote it.
