His way with words has served Adam Copeland well. It was his writing that opened the doors to his future career as a WWE Superstar, when he won a newspaper essay competition for which his prize included free wrestling training. In 2002, while sidelined with a serious neck injury, he began to write a weekly column for wwe.com, giving fans an insight into the life of one of their favourite performers. It was the fan response to this column that led WWE Books to ask him to write his autobiography. ADAM COPELAND ON EDGE takes the reader inside the world of professional wrestling, a world you can only truly know and write about if you have experienced it in the ring. But more than that, this book also takes you inside the mind of one of wrestling's brightest stars, as with disarming candour he shares his feelings and his reflections, his inspirations, his highs and lows, his goals and ambitions, in thoughtful, articulate detail. You think you know EDGE? Read on and find out…
With Adam "Edge" Copeland really being one of the last major stars to come into the WWE via the indy system that has actually succeeded in the WWE, this book is a great read. Unlike Mick Foley's Have A Nice Day, You can tell Edge had to struggle to get what he wanted out of life and dealt with set-back after set-back. Outside of one minor fact error (referring to a six man tag between Team ECK vs Too Cool at the wrong PPV event), Edge goes into detail about all the major events that helped shaped his career up till mid 2004

This book is a very good read for anyone who has, or still does, enjoy wrestling and following great superstars over the years. Adam Copeland tells his story beginning as a boy all the way to his present status in WWE. Many of Adam's real life experiences are very humorous and easy to relate to, and he carried his undying work ethic to the Ring in hopes of one day capturing the World Heavyweight title. All told in great detail, Adam Copeland on Edge is an enjoyable read for any wrestling fan or would be wrestler who would like to see how a small town kid became a big hit in the WWE.
You want to know him???

I think this was a great book by my personal favorite WWE superstar, Edge. I stayed up until the weesma's reading this funny and entertaining autobiography of Edge's early years in the sports entertainment biz. He has such a great sense of humor about himself (pretty rare for a professional wrestler) and about his chosen profession. Yes, this book was written (relatively) early in his career but why not? Why wait until another injury (God forbid) puts him out again? I say - if the WWE feels that enough people will buy a wrestler's book, who are we to argue? I am not trying to convince you that this book ranks up there with Foley's books (the best) but Edge's book definetely deserves a look by any true wrestling fan. If you liked Chyna or the Rock's books (I did) then you will not be disappointed in this new book either. I wasn't!!
