About this listen

FROM THE SHADOW is the story of a country boy who endured a series of tragic events, leaving him alone in a big city. The cruel hand of fate had one more blow: a young offenders' institution. There, in his darkest hour, it would be the bars he lifted, not those that bound him, which would finally change the trajectory of his life - forever.

Dorian Yates' disarming honesty would lead to a reader of an early manuscript saying of FROM THE SHADOW, "I had to force myself to put it down -- the thought of finishing it, of the most real thing I'd ever read coming to an end, was unbearable."

Extra comments/stories after each chapter are truly great

Finally! I’ve been waiting for this for a while now. Such a great idea for Dorian to read his own book, and thank you for the extra comments and stories after each chapter! May God bless you, Dorian, you’re a true inspiration to many of us, wish you great health and to stay strong!

Excellent Biography

I had followed Dorian Yates back when he competed in the 90s. While only toying with Bodybuilding back then I truly got in to following the sport in a large way and always looked forward to picking up Flex Magazine and Muscle & Fitness to check up on the latest information about fitness and nutrition and get some insight on what to do in the weight room. Dorian's articles were always sought after and the Olympia issues a must have!

When I saw this Biography recently I had to get it as I had seen him recently on Joe Rogan and it was interesting to see how different he now is. Seeing that he was the narrator for this book sealed the deal. The cherry on this cake was the extra commentary he gave at the end of each chapter.

If you are a fan of Bodybuilding and in particular Dorian Yates you should enjoy this book as I did. I learned a fair bit about him pre, during and post his career, and I can honestly say it met my expectations for what I wanted out of it, hence the 5 stars. Sadly, the audio production is a bit lacking in places, there are areas where the sound goes very quiet and it's obvious where a few takes were done, still that does not take away from the whole experience.

Dorian Yates, from a fan, you are a legend and this work is fitting! 5 stars!
