The Animal unleashes his life on you! - Rated 
As much as I enjoy reading auto-biogs on wrestlers, I often find it hard to really get into a story and enjoy it. Don't get me wrong, I finish the books, but it takes me a while. Not with this. I can't seem to put it down. Not since Mick Foley's Hardcore Diary have I enjoyed a book so much. Batista gives you a no holds barred look into his life, from growing up on the streets of Washington to his very first win at WrestleMania. Batista tells it how it is and isn't afraid to speak the truth.
INSPIRING AND ALWAYS PUSHING THROUGH - Rated
This is a truly inspiring book for any WWE or wrestling fan out there. it talks about his younger life and stories about him being doubted by other wrestlers. I wrote a much bettter and nicer review but bloody unfortunately i had a connection error and it all deleted. Overall, this is a must have book.
A Nice Read - Rated 
I don't like Batista and was surprised that he made 300 pages plus. Still I gave this book a try and it shone. He had such a sad life and this is a compelling read. I suggest you give it a try.
The only other I have read is Adam Copeland on Edge (my fav) and it wa published back when he had a neck injury in 2003. It was nice to read something that is slightly more up-to-date.
It alsos teaches you about working wrestling matches and how to actually appreciate a match and each WWE show has become more watchable since.

Batista Unleashed
WWE Professional Wrestler, Dave Batista documents over three hundred pages of his life with the help of sports writer Jeremy Roberts to bring you "Batista Unleashed".
Dave explains all the different experiences in his life, being brought up by his single mother in Washington D.C. Lifting weights as a teenager led him into a string of jobs working as a Bouncer and then becoming professional Body Building in his early thirties.
After crippling experience he leaves the world of Body Building and attempts to break into the world of Professional Wrestling, at first being told he's "too old", "he'll never make it", years later he wins the World Heavyweight Championship at the companies most prestigious pay-per-views of the year; "Wrestlemania".
a fine read from a man with a story to tell - Rated
despite a very short career in the industry it was felt that dave batista had enough history to warrant a book,at the start of this book the man himself states that he feels he shouldnt be writing a book as he doesnt have enough to say but the publishers hounded him to do so ,this is a very honest thing to say and the book follows in the same vein.
Batista is very open in all aspects here,he admits wrestling wasnt his great love in life,he admits that he isnt the best wrestler around and that his mic skills leave alot to be desired,he speaks of his days a bouncer,borderline crime as a youth,his affairs on his wife and gives insight on who helped him along in a very candid fashion.
I bought this book at book signing in belfast and for all of batistas talk in book of being great to fans i felt he was far from that,he wouldnt personalise the books,wouldnt pose for photos really and was in hurry but boy was i starstruck,as i shook his hand my knees were going mad,what would happen if i ever met hulk hogan,i think i would have to be stretchered out,anyway this is a great book that keeps itself interestuing throughout.
