Better than the movie!

This book was written by Julia Sorel based on the screenplay as written by Sylvester Stallone. A love story about the World's Heavyweight Championship.Here's your ringside seat for the bloodiest bicentennial in history. The place? Philadelphia. The stakes? The 1976 World Heavyweight Crown. The contenders? Black champ Apollo Creed who spouts poetry at the press and throws dynamite at his opponets . . . and challenger Rocky Balboa -- the "Italian Stallion" -- a small-time guy with bigtime guts who yearns to be a hero -- just once!This book -- like the movie -- will have you laughing, crying and cheering out loud! This slum fairy tale screenplay was turned into one of the best boxing movies ever made -- maybe THE best written by and starring Sylvester Stallone and Talia Shire as Rocky and his girlfriend Adrian, Burt Young as Paulie, Burgess Meredith as Mickey and Carl Weathers as Apollo Creed.
