The blurb on the back:

Trudi Maxwell was twenty-one - and still a virgin. On her birthday her father, a professional wrestler, delivered a bombshell with her present - a letter saying that he was running off with another woman. Resilient Trudi knew she had to support her mother, and so she turned to the only game she knew well - wrestling.
In her no-holds-barred diry, Trudi reveals how she broke into the circuit, by stripping for the lecherous promoter, Nick Price. She tells how she fought with men - and women - to retain her virginity in a rough and tumble business with a seamy as well as a glamorous side.

You might not have guessed that Trudi Maxwell was yet another pseudonym used by James Moffatt (the man who gave us Richard Allen), but you would have had a decent bet on it being a male writer. Writing a first-person narrative with a gender change is a tricky business, and one that Moffatt doesn't pull off.

Frankly this is appalling stuff. At 128 pages, it's about a hundred pages too long, and you can't help but think that the research technique is given away by one of the characters: 'I've watched some of the documentary television versions of what goes on in the wrestling world of women.'

You might be beter off checking out some proper books on wrestling.
