Summary: An Incredibly well-done book
Review: I've been a long time fan of Ken Shamrock even from his first UFC apperances, and I only recently picked up this book. Being Ghost Written, I figured it would be a bit of a let-down, however I gave it a shot anyway, and all I can say..is wow. This is an incredible book. The first part, that covers Shamrock's life, from his beginnings and troubled youth, to his professional career as an Ultimate Fighting Champion, is incredibly well done. The second part, a guide to the use of several submission moves and the world of submission fighting, is a great indepth look at the fighting meathod. I am *really* suprised at this, it was much more then I expected. It's not one to pass up.

Summary: Easy to read and interesting for UFC fans
Review: This book is a fast read and pretty interesting for NHB fans. It describes how Shamrock grew up, worked as a bouncer at 19, won 2 or 3 toughman contests and went on to be a submissions and NHB champion. The second part of the book is better, which describes the training the Lion's Den fighters must go through.

Summary: Great read, great person
Review: One cannot fathom exactly how horrifying it must be just before you enter the octagon, and still fewer can actually judge what goes on in the ring. Except those who were in the fight. Anyone who for a moment questions Shamrock's decision, and says he isn't qualified to make that claim, I recommend they first check their qualification. Many people tell me this book was merely for Shamrock to point out how he was cheated, I think this book is great and first hand recollection of the actual events in the UFC. It must be pointed out that Shamrock does tell an accurate and fair story about his opponents. Take for example Oleg Taktarov, who Ken openly compliments in his description of him. And few can say that they had Gracie even near defeat, save Kino and Shamrock. Perhaps Detroit laws did prevent Shamrock from dessimating Severn, perhaps they did not; nevertheless Shamrock is NOT a whiner, and his book is NOT a collection of Shamrock's own subjective commentaries, rather the book is an informative guide to the life of Shamrock, and the amazingly effective shootfighting tactics he explains in the latter portion of the book.

Summary: Shamrock: The Fighter, The Man, The Author
Review: As a recent fan of the fighting world, I was not sure what I expect from this book. What I discovered was a well-written book that told a wonderful true life story. The format is delightful--one half about Shamrock's private life with his family that few seem to know existed and a second half that details and explains Shamrock's unique fighting style. A must read for the new fan or one who is learning about this style of combat and I believe one that would be highly enhoyable to anyone who has ever enjoyed a Super fight match. You gotta get it...

Summary: Good Fighter / Lousy Author
Review: While I enjoy true stories and respect and admire what Ken Shamrock has accomplished in his life and career, he should have chosen a more neutral person to write his story. While there is no question Shamrock is one of the greatest fighters in the world today, the author paints an unfair picture of some of the opponents Ken has faced. Bottom line: Royce Gracie beat Shamrock once and Shamrock never defeated Royce. They did fight to a draw in their second bout, but Shamrock never won a match against Gracie. Yet the author describes Gracie as going to great lengths to avoid facing Ken. Remember, Gracie was 178 lbs and Shamrock was around 215-220. The author also unfairly badmouths Dan Severn. I saw the second superfight between the two, and anyone who says Severn unfairly won, is kidding themselves. Severn escaped the mount and reversed positions which is rarely done in a real fight. The author complains that Detroit laws prevented Shamrock from going all out, and Severn violated the laws to win. FALSE! Ken shamrock NEVER won a UFC tournament and Severn won 2. Shamrock won Superfights but never won a 3 fight tournament. I think this author is a whiner, and reading this book, one gets the impression Shamrock whines also. I hope that is not the case. Too bad such an inspiring story was written by such a louse. Get this book and ignore the authors implicit tones. Enjoy Shamrock's story as it truly is inspiring.
