This review is from: Rocky Marciano: Biography of a first son (Hardcover)

The first few chapters kind of read like they were written for Scholastic, but since they cover his early childhood this kind of makes sense. The writing gets a bit more mature as Rocky does and seems to paint a very honest picture of an interesting guy. I don't know how much more info has come out on him in the past 30 years, but as a read this was a lot of fun.
