2.0 out of 5 stars
Interesting but Quick Read about the Tonya/Nancy Debacle, July 11, 2001
This review is from: Fire on Ice:: The Exclusive Inside Story of Tonya Harding (Paperback)
This book was hastily churned out at the height of the Tonya/Nancy knee-whacking incident as a quick money maker for the author and publisher. The problem with this book is that it is not a well-rounded biography of Tonya; the emphasis is too much on the knee-whacking incident and shortly thereafter, stopping just before the '94 Winter Games. It is an interesting collectible for Tonya-philes, but does not give a full portrait of the talented, complex, troubled young woman. Hopefully a more comprehensive biography of Ms. Harding will be available in the future.

4.0 out of 5 stars
Fair and unbiased account of this talented athlete, August 13, 2004
This review is from: Fire on Ice:: The Exclusive Inside Story of Tonya Harding (Paperback)
Unlike other purported "bios" of Tonya and Nancy, these writers obviously took the time to interview those close to the skaters rather than depending on news stories for their material. Their attention to detail and the interesting details of backstage life in the fast-paced world of international figure skating make this an interesting read.
