I just got this book yesterday from my local library, and so far I can’t put it down. It came out a few years ago, I think, but I never got around to reading it, cause I didn’t want to buy it. Thank God for the library!

Stallone’s movies were THE films to see when I was a kid/teenager. The Rockys, the Rambos, Star Wars, Superman, and Indiana Jones… those were the films of my generation. Oh, and Back to the Future and Karate Kid, I guess. The first one. But, I digress….

Byrd had actually begun working on the book two years ago. Initially, his manuscript was merely a series of journal entries he intended to someday pass down to his two sons, Grayson and Colby. At the insistence of a friend, he turned those journals into the book, which will be released Tuesday by Howard Books.
