Pulver reveals a youth spent in a family in which violence was the only way to deal with conflict, and in which his father's alcoholism made all family relationships contentious. Set against Pulver’s tumultuous upbringing, this account offers insight into his rise to prominence in the ring and his drive to overcome adversity and find inner peace. Average Rating:
 Rating:  - captivating storyI enjoyed this book. From his difficult childhood to becoming a UFC champion, the author talks about perseverance, depression, fighting his own demons, and choices in life. Rating: - GREAT READ!!!!This is probably one of my favorite books. I was a huge Jens Pulver fan going into this but knew nothing about his life. The way that he carries himself now in no way portrays what he was put through as a child. You gain such a respect for him as a person and a fighter. I read the book in a few days and then my husband (who hates to read) read it in a week. I don't reccomend opening this book until you have plenty of time to sit down and read.

Rating:  - VERY ENTERTAININGTHIS BOOK WAS EXACTLLY WHAT I EXPECTED.IT WAS WELL WRITEN,INFORMATIVE AND ENTERTAINING.IF YOU ARE A FAN OF MMA OR JENS PULVER THEN THIS BOOK IS RIGHT UP YOUR ALLEY.MY ONLY COMPLAINT IS THAT ITS A VERY SHORT BOOK. Rating: - Little Evil!Good, quick read! This was the original MMA fighter autobiography. Jens's was the 1st MMA fighter to tell his story. When "Little Evil" was written, was shortly after Jens Pulver defended his championship belt against then up and coming fighter(& future champion) B.J. Penn! Jens went through hell as a kid. He had every reason to become just another punk kid, with no direction in life dealing drugs and drinking. But lucky for him, he found wrestling and had alot of great ... Read More |
