Ken O’Neil, who wrote a review for Volume I in Iron Man magazine, has informed me that he will also be writing another review for Volume II in that same classic magazine that will be out perhaps in the spring.

Randy Roach has written a bodybuilding revelation; a well-documented odyssey through the good, bad, ugly, sex, cheating, conniving, contest rigging, back-stabbing, vote-rigging and characters at the core of modern bodybuilding. A remarkable work and bodybuilding masterpiece fit for the general marketplace. We’re lucky he chose bodybuilding for his literary efforts. I’m certain the book will play out on Ironage for years—there’s sensational stuff in the book that’s never been written before. Consider this the textbook for the ironage—in that light, it’s under-priced. I have never met a professor who has put more effort into a venture; every comment is sourced and researched to pick the wheat from the chaff. It represents a truly remarkable effort, a finely written work. And to beat all, it’s a super-interesting “page turner.”

But there is not another Randy Roach. Fielding statements from literally dozens of major and minor sources, he appraises them by what must have been a tremendous task of study and comparison, places them in logical order and importance, weaves all that into an interesting, well-written, readable storyline.
