Summary: 4 Horseman , 4 LIFE
Review: Double A , the Enforcer , has been a walking legend for a long time. The first time I saw him was back in 1986. He along side Ole Anderson were dominating tag teams everywhere , but they never got the gold which I believe to this day is an insult. But at any rate AA is the kinda man that gave you your moneys worth every night in every arena , and his book is no different. Highly recommend it to anyone new to the sport of wrestling. Or those that believe that the nWo was original.

Rating: 1 stars
Summary: arn=ego
Review: even though the book has its interesting parts, it is poorly written with english mistakes through out. This is not the most annoying part though. Arn tries to make himself into the hardest working wrestler of all time and one of the best. Arn was a good wrestler but not the god that he tries to make himself through out the book. Also, there is so much filler like a page devoted to what hotel chains he likes. Who cares. Next time arn, hire someone to write for you

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: Arn Anderson 4 Ever
Review: I agree with the reviewer from Richmond, Virginia! It's a bit strange in this day and age of wrestling that 4 Ever is written in Kayfabe.

However I did enjoy this book, maybe because I am a fan of the great man himself!

Summary: aa all the way
Review: i enjoyed this book.I was a huge fan of the Horsemen in the 80's and was hoping to get some dirt. However arn simply tells story lines as if they were real life.the curtain was raised years ago on pro wrestling so arns stories are a little disapointing because he writes them like the readers still arent in on the secret.all in all i still enjoyed hearing arns side of things.HORSEMEN-4-EVER

Summary: Not a must
Review: I knew what to expect when I bought this book, but I still wanted to have it in my collection. It's that kind of book, good to have, but not a must. It's all written in kayfabe, and that's uncomfortable to read after all the great books that came shortly after. To give you an idea, he never even said was his real last name is. There are some interesting stories, but Arn protects everyone with cover-up stories and that becomes fast uninteresting. The cover shows tons of great pictures in small print, but unfortunatly you won't find any good picture inside. At least you get a grasp of his passion for wrestling. The title says it all:that's just a small, very small look behind the curtain, by a man who had obviously so much more to tell.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Honest, Straight From The Heart
Review: I read this book many months ago and it was indeed well worth the wait as I ordered it straight from the publisher. With every page, Arn is able to tell you the emotions he went through growing up poor, with limited role models, and struggling to find his calling. Many men would never have gone anywhere with the adversity he faced. But this is a story straight from the heart which shows how anyone can overcome obstacles. God Bless You Arn for telling your story.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: A great insight to what really happens behind the scenes.
Review: I really enjoyed AA's book. He is a man of solid work ethic and deep loyalty, something which seems to be vanishing in today's society. His story is interesting and exposes all he went through to get to where he is. The world of wrestling, which on the outside seems so glamorous and plush, gets portrayed as a grueling and sometimes dismal workplace where only the strongest of wills survive. I have finished this book with regrets that I did not follow wrestling more in the late 80's when the Enforcer and the Horsemen were setting standards.

Rating: 3 stars
Summary: OK except for REALLY, REALLY bad spelling and punctuation.
Review: I waited nearly six months for this book to be delivered to me in Australia and I was disappointed with the result. Although signed (and with t-shirt and autographed poster), I still felt a bit ripped off.

The spelling and punctuation were incredibly poor. I am not talking one of two mistakes, I mean one mistake every five pages on average. At some points there were mistakes on four pages in a row!

Other than that, the book was very informative and gave a great sense of history as Arn detailed his career path as a wrestler. As a long time fan, it was interesting to note that Arn rarely deviated from the actual events in giving his opinion. Many older wrestling personalities were mentioned, illustrating that this book is anything but superficial.

In summary, this book is a great read but I cannot stress how angry the reader will be with the amount of stupid mistakes in the text that would have been picked up by ANY proofreader.

Summary: This is hard to write...
Review: I've been a Four Horsemen fan for as long as I can
remember. I wanted to like this book, I really did.
I remember sending money off for it with high hopes
and then...sadly..having them dashed. Sadly Double
A refuses to admit what everyone and their brother
these days knows. The one single part of this book
that killed it for me is a small throwaway where
Arn tells us he was in a trailer one day going over
strategy for a match with Lex Luger. Arn suggests that
Lex use a small package on this particular opponent.
Then Arn tells us that Lex just nodded and had no clue
what a small package was, so Arn spent a half hour
going over the hold in this trailer wrecking it.
I just paused and shook my head in amazement that
Arn would actually think this story is credible.
Avoid this book at all costs, unless of course you
like to have your intelligence insulted
