4.0 out of 5 stars Not just for body building fans..., 6 Sep 2007
By Humpty D (England) - See all my reviews
I'm not particularly interested in bodybuilding but bought this book after seeing an excerpt in the Observer. Hotten starts as an outsider but becomes smitten with a world that is proud to exist outside of the mainstream whilst craving recognition & the rewards that the interest & affection of the general public would bring.

If you're looking for an objective view of bodybuilding look elsewhere - Hotten is in thrall to the world of BB after a while & can appear as an apologist for the excesses & idiosyncracies of those involved.

However, what Hotten is good at is capturing the personalities behind the muscle - not just the competitors but the promoters, trainers & fans. As an insight in to a hidden subculture this is fascinating & compelling stuff, very enjoyable. I've read it twice now & am sure I will again.
