Death, Drugs, and Muscle ReviewI've picked up some issues of Muscular Development and read Gregg's "ALL CAPS" columns. Additionally, I had seen the TLC feature on Gregg Valentino titled, "The Man Who's Arms Exploded." Ultimately, I expected something entirely different than I got when I cracked open this book. I expected some boisterous, self-praising nonsense intermingled with a few funny stories that, if I were lucky, would make the book worth its $12. Well, I was wrong.
This book is deep and well-written. You go on an emotional roller coaster with Valentino and after shaking your head at his wrong choices, you find yourself in a bit of amazement that he actually admits his mistakes. Further, you find yourself cheering for him because he seems to be proof you can rehabilitate. To see a guy go from underground drug dealer on the streets of New York, to sitting in a jail cell, and back out and onto movie screens and worldwide fame, and hear it in his voice... it's impressive.
I've never in my life read the same book twice, but I think I'm going to make an exception for this one.Death, Drugs, and Muscle Overview

Flex Ability: A Story of Strength and Survival ReviewI enjoyed reading this book, but as time has passed and I have reflected upon it further, I have become more and more disappointed with it. Flex now writes for Muscular Development, and his pieces in there vary a great deal in the persona he projects. In FlexAbility he portrays himself as the quasi-innocent, long-suffering victim. The suspicious "ninja attack" which supposedly occurred right before an Olympia, thus forcing him to withdraw, is not even mentioned here, though surely it ought to be discussed--if it were real, because that would be a major event in his career; if it were invented, because only by 'fessing up would he really be honest. I think that in this book Wheeler is working really hard to convince the reader that he, Flex, is a good guy. He might be, but methinks this book doth protest too much.Flex Ability: A Story of Strength and Survival Overview

Mark and Me: Mark McGwire and the Truth Behind Baseball's Worst-kept Secret Reviewhave followed Mark McGwire, so really wanted to see what the book was about. It is a great family story, talks about Jay and his relationship with his brothers, only talks about Mark in the end. It neither confirms or denys, it only creates speculation. Writen well, i hope people take it in the manner it is written.Mark and Me: Mark McGwire and the Truth Behind Baseball's Worst-kept Secret Overview

Muscle Bound ReviewSloppy form in the gym leads to injuries. Sloppy form in a novel leads to this book. I really wanted to like "Muscle Bound." Judging by the author's photo, he knows his way around a gym, and he definitely gets (and, I think, portrays nicely) the mindset of someone with a muscle fetish. Marlow recognizes that, for a muscle worshiper, it's about the physique, not specific sexual acts. However, the book at times reads like bad erotica, and it was in need of a strong editor to direct the author to do re-writes (it was also in need of a good copy editor to correct the minor, but sloppy, errors throughout).
The structure is a little confusing, and the characters are often little more than caricatures, when they aren't being completely 180'd for the purposes of plot. I find the life Chase Hyde chooses to live a sad, ultimately lonely one. Marlow's disdain for romantic monogamous relationships (especially between gay men) is clear. There's not one happy couple in the book; at the moment of commitment, romance dies, to be replaced by contempt. That's a shame.
A bigger shame is that there *is* a good book buried here, but it's not the story of Chase and Hunter. It's the story of Christian, who dominates the middle of the book before disappearing, finally reappearing at the end. This is the one character who experiences some development (beyond muscle development). As hard as it would have been, Marlow should have discarded Chase & Hunter to focus on Christian's story; in the right hands, it could be fantastic. (Check out J.G. Hayes's excellent Map of the Harbor Islands for a wonderful story of two boys growing up.)
