Summary: Wonderful Book . Too bad the TNT movie was bad.
Review: A well done book. Gets the facts right. I understand TNT used this book to make the TNT movie Evel Knievel with George Eads. How could they have messed up the movie so bad with this great book?

Summary: Balance, skill and control - Mandich has what Evel lacked
Review: Let's just say that the BBC documentary `Touch of Evel' would have
benefitted greatly if this book had been available at the time of
production! Mandich's masterly yet affectionate execution fills in all the
gaps - it is the quiet authoritative voice behind the hollering and bluster
of the legend. It shows meticulous research without descending into geekdom,
and hits the spot more accurately than Evel did in a thousand jumps.
Splendid.

Summary: Evel Knievel - the BEST book on Knievel bar none!
Review: Simply stunning work by the obviously Knievel obsessed Steve Mandich. Really well researched and put together - this makes interesting reading for all those with an interest in the 'real' story of Buttes bad boy, but it will appeal to anyone who enjoys a good book. Buy it today and I'm sure you'll love it. Just don't go jumping any canyons.

Summary: Deft handling of the career of Evel.
Review: The beauty of Mandich's incredibly well-researched book lies in it's deft handling of the myth and reality of the life of Evel Knievel. It's what makes it a compelling read for anyone, whether they be a die-hard Evel fan, rev-head or anyone with even a passing interest in one of the 20th centuries more interesting celebrity sporstman. The engaging writing style makes this not just a great biography but also a fascinating story.
