Reviews and Praise of my 1st Book
Beau
I just finished your first book and thought it was very well done. I have many books on wrestlers and I would put yours at the top. Very colorful, but also heartfelt and sincere, especially when you shared your personal struggles as a young man. Nice to read how you persevered.
As a lifelong fan of wrestling (especially in East TN), I thought you captured what it was like in the heyday and what it sounds like you have been able to keep going.
I will write you again after I finish your second book.

Wow! I mean just that. What can I actually say that Beau James didn't? I read the book from cover to cover and never wanted to put it down. Beau's vast wealth of wrestling knowledge (dates, people and fun facts) is just impeccable, he's like a human wrestling encyclopedia. The main focus in the book is the hot bed of Tennessee wrestling, Kingsport, TN (although he did some long road trips around the US). He was able to work with and meet some of the greatest wrestling stars living and passed. This really isn't just a book on wrestling; it includes an in-depth look into the soul of this man and shows his love of one woman, wrestling and his trial and tribulations with faith and personal demons. I recommend that everyone should read this book at least once, it's worth it.

I finished up Beau James' new book last night "Do you wanna be a wrestler, kid?' and I honestly have to say if you are a wrestling fan, and even if you're not - this book is OUTSTANDING. I HIGHLY recommend you pick up a copy and check it out. The way he weaves a story is incredible and vivid. His story is so inspirational, I won't even try to put it into words. Honestly, I had no idea how similar our backgrounds (Not in wrestling of course, but life in general.) were. Already being a big fan of Mr. James - I have developed an even bigger respect for him and his career. Thank you Mr. James for a great read and I'm looking forward to book number 2!

Beau, I just finished your book. I really enjoyed it alot. It was really hard to put it down once I started reading it. You have a great gift of telling stories. I'm glad you talked about Jimmy Valiant and Ricky Morton in your book. The boogie woogie man and The Rock N Roll Express were some of my favorite wrestlers growing up and watching them on tv every week. I look forward to buying your next book. When will your second book come out?
Thank you for autographing my book and pictures. I pray that God will continue to bless you as you keep on living your dream and sharing it with others!

I give the book on a 1 to 5 scale 5 suplexes. I have known Beau James since he was a teenager. His story is a must read for anyone who ever had a dream. I learned so many things about him from this book. He is very open and honest about his battles and struggles. His story of overcoming so many obstacles is an inspiration. His journey to find happiness and peace could be a movie. And his love story with his beautiful wife Misty is the feel good story we all search for.

Beau James explains some of the more unique stories of his time on the road as a Professional Wrestler. He explains the sacrifices he's made for his choice of profession, the scary situations, the rabid fans, and even how he met a beautiful lady who is now his wife. Any die hard wrestling fan, even one who has never been to a local match needs to read this book to understand what it takes to be a real professional wrestler. I live in Washington State, and only have the opportunity to see Beau in action a small handful of times, but I knew I needed to read this book when he told me about it. You won't be disappointed.

Hey Beau,
Finished the book and really enjoyed it and so much so that I am suggesting to Rich Tate at Ringside Rap, Mike Johnson at PW Insider, and Bryan Alvarez of Observer/Figure4 to contact you to interview on their web sites if they haven't already, and hope it helps you sell a few more books.
Every "play wrestler" should also read the book and try to understand the business. Hope all is well with you and Misty and the best of luck. Hope to see you down the road. Take care and God bless.
Your Pal,
Les Thatcher
