Rating:  Summary: Won't back down... Review: Everything about this book is a testament to Mann's life concept: "You can get anything you want out of life." Focused on acting, The Theatrical Juggernaut is a ridiculously insightful and inspirational acting handbook. It's the kind of book that pulls you in two directions - on one hand, you're drawn in by Mann's stories and advice, and on the other hand, you feel like you need to be getting out there, whoopin' some theatrical ass. It's an honest book that makes the reader take responsibility for life decisions. In reading this book, one realizes the detriment of blaming others for one's failures. In all, this is a fantastic book written by a man who refuses to back down from anything. His work, attitude, and persistence are truly inspirational.
Rating:  Summary: Losing hope and confidence? Look no further... Review: Halfway through my freshman year in college, I became frustrated with the whole acting process.. I was majoring in drama I felt like I was wasting my time and money doing nothing and not learning what I felt I really needed to know about the business aspects of a career in entertainment--I was losing confidence fast. Somehow I came across The Theatrical Juggernaut online and HAD to read it. The hope that resulted simply from purchasing the book online right then and there enabled me to continue what I was doing.
...then of course I READ the book, and things are just a million times better now too! The book is amazing, I learned so much and it helped to boost my confidence and self-esteem dramatically. Monroe's "go-get-'em" attitude is just what any struggling artist needs to perservere and be fabulous. Get back on track and read this book!
Rating:  Summary: "One more" to do further your acting career... BUY THIS BOOK Review: Hello fellow Actor,Are tired of hearing from your OLD acting coaches (whom are probably bitter they never made it) tell you your dream is unrealistic, not possible or perhaps there is no source of direction for you and you are searching for it? This Book was a God sent... a blessing... from a great author... and an Unstoppable Actor... "When the student is ready the teacher appears" (Robin S. Sharma), I have searched, studied, pondered, worked, and done everything... and now this book has found me and there's so much more that I can do. You can always tell the worth of any knowledge by how much it inspires you to act upon it. This book has done just that I've totally taken action upon buying book "Theatrical Juggernaut"... And within a two weeks, the results are more auditions, and more PR... more visibility, and an unstoppable DRIVE. If 80% of the job of an actor is finding work, then how do you find work, there's only so many things you can do... Right?WRONG, I know NOW after reading your book, that there is 100 "one more" things I can do. "I am going to" take this to the next level with this book's thoughts. Be proactive, and BUY this book. Say it "I am going to book this now." I am going to listen to this message. I am going to act upon this now! Sincerely, JP Richards ... Unstoppable Actor
Rating:  Summary: A- MAZING!!!!!! Review: I picked up this book on a whim and was happily surprised. Unlike other "How to be an Actor" books this book a motivational tool. Monroe is the Tony Robbins of the entertainment biz. I have felt a renewed sense of direction and power over my life since reading this book. Everything that Monroe says is right on the money and he gives the reader a great lookout on everyday aspects of our lives. If you haven't read this or Monroe's other book From Benning and Back pick them both up and get motivated today. ... The man is like 25 and is accomplishing big things, he doesn't jst talk the talk, he runs full speed to his goals.

Rating:  Summary: Great Motivational Book Review: I received this book as a gift.It's great and has a lot of good points about treating your acting career like a business. Marketing, Capital, etc. Every actor that's serious about the business should read it.
Rating:  Summary: The Theatrical Juggernaut is Aptly Named Review: Monroe Mann is a young man who has done a lot of things in his 26 years. He's been to the inner circles of the Cannes Film Festival, started his own business, written several books, gotten a band together, produced an album and probably most importantly now, earned the rank of First Lieutenant in the National Guard.
I've never met Monroe, but I have had the pleasure of communicating with him over the digital mail routes. I've also gotten a chance to read his terrific book, "The Theatrical Juggernaut." That he is now training for deployment to a dangerous part of the world - he's been called to active duty - makes me proud to know him. But I'm only a little bit prouder - because, if this book is any indication of things to come, we are going to be hearing a lot about Monroe Mann.
"The Theatrical Juggernaut" could be subtitled The Business ABC's of Acting. This is a wonderful resource for any actor who wants to build a REAL career in this business. As a writer myself, I admire any one who actually manages to finish a book, much less someone who really has something to say - and Monroe has lots to say. He spares no `accepted wisdom' as he slams his points across with straight-forward, no nonsense style and a no-holds barred, take no prisoners approach to the acting business.
There's advice in "Juggernaut" that will cause the timorous to quake and the cautious to question, but I can tell you from direct experience that his over-all message is one that every actor should take to heart.
This is a business. Period. If you hope to be successful you must become a business-person. Monroe Mann's imprecations to pay attention to this oft-neglected part of your acting career are sometimes explosive and controversial but they are rarely off the mark.
This is a book every actor should take an evening to read.
Meanwhile, as we go about our daily lives over the next several months, each of us should stop every so often and give a thought to this generous, gifted and caring young man.
Romp on, Monroe.
