This book was one of my favorite books about wrestling and it showed how this women has lived through being known as a freak and how she has gotten to place she is know. I think that anyone who even has a clue about wrestling or about chyna you buy this book as quick as you can.

Chyna has an interesting story to tell, just not by Scott Edelman. While he writes well in his magazine, the book left a lot to be desired. There was not enough detail in this book to really get into Chyna's entertaining biography. In Warrior Queen, Edelman relies on old interviews, magazine articles, and video tapes for the subject matter. There hardly was any dialogue which made the book quite choppy at points. The writing style was extremely basic and rather boring, but fairly easy to read. Unfortunately, the brief trivia section at the end of the book was the best part.

I thought this book was all right I wish Chyna/Joanie Laurer had written it herself. This book contained information that the wrestling fans would enjoy like pre-wwf wrestling action before she became a huge star. I also liked the Chyna trivia in the back of the book. I would recommend this book to all wrestling fans.

Remembering it is a slim paperback that will fit into your pocket, the best part of the book was the early years, and maybe some of the photos. The rest of the book, is a printed copy of the wrestling commentary you hear twice a week anyway. Don't get excited about the pre-surgery photos. There is only one good one. The other is just two bodies mid wrestle. It could be anyone.

Save your money for something else, her new book perhaps?? Or paying for a pay per view episode.

I feel its a wonderful book. She has been a great wrestler and a first.I am a great fan of hers. One hopes there are improved versions of it later.However...I would recommend it. The pictures are wonderful.

If you don't know much about Chyna/Joanie Laurer then this is a good book.If you're a big fan of Chyna then you probably already know most of the info in the book anyway.I think the best thing in here are the pre-WWF photos of her (although you can only see her face in one!).I think if you want to read something she had a hand in, read the TALK magazine article or wait for her autobiography due out in November. She also has a fitness video out on September 19,2000 which should be good since Joanie plainly knows muscles.

THIS IS ABOUT CHYNA FORMER WWE LADY WRESTLER. IT CONTAINS A VERY SIMPLE AND NOT VERY DETAILED STORY OF HOW CHYNA WAS INVENTED, PROGRESSION OF HER CAREER AND STORY LINES AND A LITTLE ABOUT THE REAL CHYNA, LAURIE LAURER. IT DOESN'T TAKE MUCH BRAIN POWER TO READ THIS AND IT IS SOMEWHAT ENTERTAINING AND INTERESTING. I SUGGEST IT FOR FANS OF CHYNA AND THOSE WHO WANT TO TURN THEIR BRAIN OFF. NOT BAD.

I am a hugh Chyna/Joanie laurer fan all information in this book was compiled from old magazines tv talk shows and her and Hunter's own behind the scence WWF video IT'SOUR TIME. This book did not produce any new information on her life. All it did was skim the surface and use other peoples' work to make this book. I hope the author shares his royalities with all the other writers and talk show host that provided him with their information

i have always ben a big fan of chyna, she was an inspriation to me and i was so happy when this book came out. She has been through so much and still achieved her goal, thats amazing. I am now a bigger fan of hers by reading this book.Go, chyna!
