Gr 2–4—In countdown style, pro-wrestling's greatest stars and moments are described. The photos are splashy and bold, just like the sport itself. From classic "faces" (good guys like John Cena) to terrible "heels" (bad guys like CM Punk and Vince McMahon), the stars are covered. Not much detail is provided, but the writing is engaging enough to keep browsers satisfied. Notably, Secrets Exposed provides insight into how wrestling mats are constructed as well as life outside the ring for wrestlers, including day jobs; the issue of drug abuse is also addressed. Rabid fans of the sport may not learn a lot of new information but those with developing interests will gain just enough history to hopefully want more.
VERDICT A well-done, but not completely necessary, update to pro-wrestling sections.Middle to High School
