The World According To Dutch/Tales From A Dirt Road Book Reviews

Professional wrestler/manager/booker “Dirty” Dutch Mantell has written two books, and is writing a third one.

I am reviewing his first two books here.

Dutch’s first book The World According To Dutch, was released in 2009 and his second, Tales From A Dirt Road, was released in 2010.

Both of these books are not full on autobiographies, per say, but do have many stories from throughout Dutch’s life and career.

If you are a fan of Dutch or just of wrestling in general, then you will love these books.

Tons of great stories, some funny, some serious, but all worth reading.

I should have bought these years ago, but I just had not gotten around to it until last year.

It took awhile to receive them (I bought them from Dutch personally and due to health problems, it took him awhile to send them but most importantly, he’s OK now.) but once I did, I started reading them very quickly.

Both books are great and again if you’re a fan of his or of just wrestling, you will enjoy Dutch’s storytelling and humor very much.

Thank you Dutch for these great books (and thanks for signing them for me!!!!) and I can’t wait for your third book.
