About this product
Product Information
Is there a way to find truth in the stuff of legend? You may think you know André the Giant -- but who was André Roussimoff? This comprehensive biography addresses theburning questions, outrageous stories, and common misconceptions about his height,his weight, his drawing power as a superstar, and his seemingly unparalleled capacityfor food and alcohol. But more importantly, The Eighth Wonder of the World: The True Story of André the Giant transports readers beyond the smoke and mirrors of professional wrestling into the life of a real man. Born in France, André worked on his family's farm until he was 18, when he moved toParis to pursue professional wrestling. A truly extraordinary figure, André went on to become an international icon and world traveler, all while battling acromegaly. While his disorder is what made him a giant and a household name, it's also what caused his untimely death at 46. With exhaustive research, exclusive interviews with family and friends, and an exploration of André's amazing in-ring career and the indelible mark he left on pop culture, Laprade and Hébert have crafted the most complete portrait of a modern-day mythical being. 'This book does his career and life justice and makes up for a lot of distortion both have suffered through over the years.' -- Web is Jericho

Reviews
"Unlike traditional biographies, we don't just get a chronological recollection of André's life, but we also get a fascinating array of discussions that range from his aforementioned and apparently famous flatulence to the curiosity surrounding the size of André's genitalia to his lust for life and the ladies and even an entire chapter on acromegaly, the hormonal disorder responsible for André's immense size." -- Slam! Wrestling, "In terms of research, this is one of the best wrestling books I've read about a performer. . . The Eighth Wonder of the World shines a light on André's passion, his big heart and his genuine love for his peers." -- Every Read Thing blog "I consider it to be one of the best books I have read on professional wrestling." -- The Guy Who Reviews Sports Books blog, "In terms of research, this is one of the best wrestling books I've read about a performer. . .
