Summary: The King has written one of the best WWE books!
Review: It's Good to be King sometimes is a great read. Jerry Lawler talks about why Jim Carrey is a crazy ..... while Andy Kaufman is just a normal guy. Lawler also tells a good story about how Elvis Presley would have became a pro wrestler in the Memphis area if it wasn't for his tragic death. Learn why the Kat(Lawler's ex-wife) is not a very nice person! I can't believe Lawler still wants the Kat back after all those stories he tells about her. Also, learn the true story according to the King on his first constrovial departure from the WWE. Some great Jerry Lawler artwork is include in the book as a extra bonus! My only negative feedback on the book is Lawler does not mention his classic feud with Saved by the Bell's Dustin Dimond(Screetch Powers) in the Memphis area and doesn't even mention Brandon Baxter's name in the entire book. Brandon and the King had a classic feud in the USWA were Brandon told the King and the other USWA legends they were to old to wrestle and it was really funny stuff. Jerry Lawler also fails to mention the sex scandel he had with a teenage girl in the 1990's. This book would have been a good chance to clear his name once and for all! The book is still a great read even though it has it's flaws. I hope this book review has been helpfully!

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: THE KING
Review: It's good to be king sometimes is so far the best wrestling autobiography out there. Jerry Lawler is truly The King, and with this book he takes you all the way through from when he was a struggling DJ to his first stay with the WWE to his nasty divorce from wife Stacy "KAT" Carter, to his long awaited return to the announce booth beside Good Ol' JR. In this book you will certainly laugh, with and at the King, as well as cry with the King. This book truly takes you through the ups and downs of the biggest kid in wrestling life. I recommend it and stand by my 5 star rating of this incredibly awesome book.

Rating: 2 stars
Summary: His Charm is Lost On Me
Review: Most wrestling books I've read usually start slow and end more exciting, but this book is the opposite. The historical stuff about his early career was very informative and interesting, but midway through the book I came to the sad conclusion that unlike most people in the WWE, Jerry Lawler is EXACTLY like his television character. Yes, he is a pervert, and he has no problem letting everybody know that. I was expecting juicy details about his divorce from Stacy "The Kat" Carter, and while some of them were juicy, I kept waiting for the official reason for her termination. However, I don't even think Jerry knows the answer to that one. Overall, I found some parts of the book to be very interesting, but for the most part it was pretty underwhelming and stands as proof that within five years everyone in the WWE will have written an autobiography.

Rating: 1 stars
Summary: Very unimpressed
Review: There are just too many autobiographies for wrestling these days. You have to look very hard to find a brutally honest one. This one such as many are fluff pieces. Jerry Lawler conveniently leaves out many controversial times of his life. If you are going to write an autobiography; it is a complete joke to dance around any turmoil or bad experience in your life.

If you can't come clean in an autobiography what is the point of releasing it. The book should be called the Half Truth. There is nothing impressive with a book where a man tries to hide portions of his life. This book much like Hulk Hogan's book, is nothing more then a silly fluff piece. Unlike Fred Blassie, Roddy Piper and Dynamite Kid, there is nothing gripping or interesting about this book. Jerry Lawler is one heck of a politician dancing around certain things in this literary joke.

This biographical sham is the perfect model of what autobiography not to buy. I was extremely disappointed in Lawler for his lack of honesty because this book was pointless the way in which it was written. It is competely pathetic!

Rating: 1 stars
Summary: If there's one thing I can't stand about 'The King'
Review: this book is a great book if u want to fin out how a wrestlers life is. Jerry (the king lawler) has a lot to talk about in this book he talks about his divorce in memphis. the main reason why his wife broke up wit him. jerrys life is matched up to the title its good to be king sometmes. His life is great because of his sports entertainment job as the comentator with jr his ife is great sometimes. that is my reaview
