Really enjoyed this! I had previously read a book about Flair and his stories are notorious. Nice to see some new interesting material here. Thank you!
I would like to thank the publisher for allowing me to listen to this audiobook.
The Last World Champion is about the life of Ric Flare. It starts off before he was adopted, telling about the adoption agency and goes thru his life as a youngster to his wrestling career. I found it somewhat interesting, but there were some parts that didn't keep me as engaged. Over all it was a good intro to his life and career.
Author Tim Hornbaker does a good job telling the story of the life of superstar professional wrestler Ric Flair. He takes a deep dive into Flair's life and gives as close to a factual account as possible. His storytelling is nice at developing Flair from a rookie with Vern Gagne and his rise to superstardom and probably the most famous wrestler of all time. He also tells about the influence he's had on pop culture as well as the wrestling world. The middle part of the book quickly describes a lot of the matches that Flair participated in throughout his career.
Thank you to Tantor Audio and NetGalley for an ARC audiobook in exchange for an honest review.
