Spiritual Journey of Joseph Greenstein: The Mighty Atom

Post by Hebrew Hammer »

A recounting of the Atom's life from a young asthmatic boy through his wrestling career, his many feats as a stongman, his natural food lifestyle and natural products business, his mentoring of Slim the Hammer Man Farman, and ultimately his death. Gives insight into his taditional Judaism, his belief in the power of the mind, the range of his stunts, the power of his hair, and the hard-knocks life he led. The writing is over-the-top in a number of places, and the author may be a bit too free in some places in what he recounts as fact, but the book tells a great story.

Most amazing of all, Might Atom learned all he knew without going on internet training forums.

It is a good book. I thought the factual inaccuracies detracted a lot because you are left wondering what was real and what wasn't...but that's showbiz I guess.
