About this listen
Brought to you by Penguin.
Eddie ‘The Beast’ Hall is the first Brit in 24 years to win the World’s Strongest Man competition, beating The Mountain from Game of Thrones.
Everything about Eddie is huge. Standing at 6’3 he weighs almost 30 stone, and to make it through his hellish four-hour gym sessions he needs to eat a minimum of 10,000 calories a day. He eats a raw steak during weight sessions. His right eyeball once burst out of its socket under the strain. He put it back in.
In his remarkable autobiography, Eddie takes you inside the world of the professional strongman – the nutrition, the training and competitions themselves. This is a visceral story of sporting achievement, an athlete pushing himself to the limits, and the personal journey of a man on the path to becoming being the best of the best.

Very entertaining, but what you would expect.
Straight up, this is a fun book and Eddie has an entertaining style about him. But it's not a fantastic book.
If you like strongman, excersise or are into sports it's a tremendous story. But it's written amateurishly, as you would expect.
Overall really enjoyed it, some bits were a bit slow, but overall very good.
The narrator is great too.

Outstanding!
From the first word to the last, I was captivated by this book.
The narrator was fantastic, I often forgot that it wasn't Eddie reading it!

Great story from a complex and outstanding man
great narration and great story. perfect length for an audio book. although eddie didn't narrate it himself, the narrator felt almost eddie-like and you'd often forget it was some one else talking. would recommend!
