Query: An unusual compilation of work . . .

Being an Irving fan, I knew I would be in for some engaging writing. While a few of these pieces really stood out, others were a disappointment. "Imaginary Girlfriend" was autobiographical with lots of good wrestling reminiscing, but a bit self absorbed.Others were just not engaging, such as the tributes at the end of the book. "Piggy Sneed" & "Pension Grillparzer" are classic Irving . . . there are a few here that really make this worth the purchase
