Summary: Interesting,but fictional
Comment: I like many boys in my youth took the Charles Atlas course and therefore was very interested in this book. The book contains exercises out of the course,but instead of telling the truth stays with the fictionalized version of 97 pound weakling who becomes The World's Most Perfectly Developed Man.I was actually disappointed and find the exercises from this course written in 1922 drastically out dated and except for a few exercises where you are pushing one arm against the other no different than you would find in any high school gym class.

Summary: yours in perfect manhood
Comment: Although informative, this book does not present an in-depth review of Mr. Atlas and his life. It's almost as if the authors were writing a comic book story. Atlas is presented in a rather two-dimensional manner. There are some issues of Atlas' life that are just barely touched upon. And some REALLY INTERESTING issues the authors just choose to ignore and not elaborate. The writing is rather amateurish. The examples of photography are excellent. More mention and discussion of Sansone and Grimek should have been included. It was at least helpful in some minor ways for my research.

Summary: This book is the definitive piece on Charles Atlas.
Comment: This book covers everything about the great Charles Atlas. History, biography and even a look at his famous bodybuilding course.
