Summary: Well worth the read
Review: This is the story of the great wrestling superstar, Steve Austin, as told in his own words. Or, at least, its supposedly in his own words, though I'm sure some ghostwriting to one extent or another takes place in the book. Still, you can often hear Austin's voice as he describes his adolescence, his introduction into wrestling, and his gradually pounding the crap out of anyone in his way as he worked his way to the top of wrestling's top organization, the WWE. Personal comments on Austin's early days, his stints in the WCW and ECW, and first impressions as the Ringmaster in WWE are interesting, though much of the later WWE stuff is obviously a little reserved, as Austin, still with the WWE, cannot say too much.
The book is not well-written, though that is in no way Austin's fault. In fact, the poor sentence structure and choppy transitions seem to be almost appropriate at times, though being better written would certainly not hurt the readability of the book by any means. Still, it was an interesting and enjoyable read, even after shelling out twenty-six bucks to buy it when I "ran into" Austin signing these things at the mall. Austin is a great guy, and his story is certainly worth hearing. It takes only a few hours to read this book, and the experience is, overall, well worth it.

Summary: Light On Details, What?, Want More, What?
Review: This was a pretty good read, but some more indepth tales from the road would have been nice. It falls short of Mick Foley's first book and Hogan's book, but tops the Rock's. It seemed as if Austin was really reaching to remember things to say about many of the matches he has had and the people he has run across during his long career. I guess it is probably hard to remember many of the details. That should be where the writer comes to the rescue, but the book is what it is...Because Stone Cold Said So.

Summary: Open up a can of this book
Review: Weather you are from texas or like wrestling or just a cold bud or a combination of both of them you will love this book. Besides all the great wrestling stories this book also has alot of information about steve himself. Besides being a great wrestler he is also a great person. If you ignore his legal problems and his abuse of his wife. Don't count this book out (no pun intended).

Summary: Enjoyable but lacking...
Review: Well, I was really waiting for this one to be more fulfilling after reading Chyna and The Rock's semi-disappointing autobiographies. However, despite being a fairly easy and enjoyable read the book leaves too many 'Stones' (forgive the pun) unturned. I realize that the WWE Wrestlers must have some pretty limiting contracts about what they can and cannot say, but since the whole purpose of the book was to be an autobiography of a WWE Superstar it could have been twice as thick and provide a lot more substance. From reading it and the other two mentioned, I reckon that the wrestlers are forced to limit certain opinions that may describe how they really feel about others in the business. Too much praise on the McMahon family and skimming over what we the readers most probably really want out of a book. And for me, it would be a helluva damn good read if he covered the peaks and troughs of those involved with him in more detail, and how they made an impact on SCSA's character changes and the decisions he made. Within the book he says for legal reasons that he cannot tell his side of the story or what happened between him and Debra but we all know what it was, right? Well, wrong I am afraid since news in the papers overseas does not cover things like this and so I am still in the dark as to what happened. (Will search news groups later though.) Anyway, the bottom line here is that the book is an OK read for a lazy afternoon, but don't expect to come away with too much more than what you can find from reading articles on the internet.

Summary: Very enjoyable for the most part
Review: What a great read. This book was very interesting, altough some parts were a liitle too brief there is certainly more than enough information on the life of on of the greatest Wrestling stars and maybe even the best superstar in the wrestling bussiness. Peronally, I really enjoyed reading the whole story invoving Owen Hart. The whole story of him breifly leaving the company was also ver interesting. Overall, thereis plenty of information for any fan to enjoy this autobiography of Stone Cold Steve Austin.

Summary: Decent, but could have been so much more
Review: While I found Austin's book hard to put down, it did have some flaws. I enjoyed hearing childhood stories of his, as well as his college experiences. However, this soon became another WWE-formula book. It was ridiculous broken up in chapters. The parts where he was in WCW was ridiculously short. It was obvious that Austin did not put all his heart in his book, not like Foley did.If you are an Austin fan, you definitely want it. However, it is not mana from heaven, that is all I'm saying.

Summary: You think you know Stone Cold, but you don't.
Review: You must know who Stone Cold Steve Austin is if you have ever watched WWE or WWF. This audio CD is great. I mean if you want to read his book, but like me don't want to read. This way you can just listen to Stone Cold and JR read the story for you. Which is very cool. So if you don't have this in your collection then you need to get it.
