Pure brilliance - Rated 5/5
this is the best book ive ever read it tells jerichos life brilliantly taking us through the ups and downs of wrestling. i recomend this to anybody wrestling fan or not you will enjoy it.


A Sequel Is On It's Way, So Buy A Lion's Tale Right Now~! - Rated 5/5
This book is superb. It's the most entertaining wrestling book I've ever read, and as a journey there are few as unique as that of Chris Jericho. If you are looking at this page and therefore have a modicom of interest in this book, buy it immediately.

The purpose for this review is actually to address one issue. In a number of the reviews you'll read on this page; the principle gripe is with where the book ends; i.e. with the countdown to Jericho's August 1999 WWF debut. There is good news. A second book is in development.

Jericho has confirmed the release of a second book via Lance Storm's official website, StormWrestling.com. He wrote an article on Storm's website regarding his book and the reaction to it thus far. Jericho said the first book left the book open for a sequel because the first one only focuses on the stage in his life in which he is trying to achieve his dream of joining WWE. Once he got to WWE, that stage in his life was over. He has signed a new book deal for the second book with Grand Central. The second book will be called "Undisputed Attitude," which as you would imagine, will be an indepth look into his WWE tenure. The title is a reference to both the Attitude Era and his Undisputed Championship reign. It is also an homage to the Slayer compilation album of the same name. The second book will be released in the US and Canada in Autumn 2009, with a UK release following shortly after that.

Hope that helps you guys out. In the meantime, pick up this book. Even if you've never watched professional wrestling, this book will entertain you. Jericho's writing style is very inviting, witty and down to earth, with more Spinal Tap references than you can shake a stick at.


a must-read for all jericoholics - Rated 4/5
I love this book - funny, insightful, touching, and inspiring.

Y2J is clearly a wrestling fan and comes across as a fan of the business, which is great. Jericho doesn't sugar coat anything in this book, and discusses his travels and life on the road with an honesty that is lacking in other autobiographies. This book covers Jericho until his count down to 'the millenium' i.e. joining the wwe with the familiar clock countdown.

My only gripe with this book (and I stress this is my ONLY issue with the entire book) is that is did not cover his WWE (then WWF) days. The book stops as the countdown hits zero and Jericho walks through the WWE curtain for the first time to interupt the rock (and if you didnt see it look for it on youtube - very funny segment).


Destination WWF/E - Rated 5/5

This is one of the funniest wrestling books out there. I always find it strange when some of the best promo people in wrestling always say that they are shy and introverted. Does not sound the Y2J I and millions and millions of people do know. Y2J takes you on a round the world trip of the wrestling territories; he starts and finishes the book with the count down to his WWE début. Which leaves the book open for a sequal for his WWE years.


Lion Heart - Rated 5/5
This book helps to understand the lack of oppurtunities in the wrestling world. Jericho highlights his youth and career and is a must buy i myself could not put it down, it had funny moments and others that made you think OMG. but overall 5 star book well worth the wait and the money
