This is a very touching and emotional book by Monica.She has described everything that struck her like calamity after her stabbing by a mad fan of Graf.Reading this book makes us think 'Has sportsmanspirit disappeared?'.Anyway I recommend this book to everybody and everyone.

This is the best biography I have ever read! This is a MUST READ for all Monica Seles fans!

From Fear to Victory is a book that everybody should read. It helps a person realize what takes to be the best. It shows what made a scared little girl become the world's best athlete. It shows ways to deal with success, fear, and anger. This is the best book I have ever read, and I believe that everybody should read this book, and in that way change their perceptives about Monica, and athletes in general.

I think Monica is the coolest tennis player of all time, with two fisted forehand and backhand, hitting the ball like cannon and always goes for the lines no matter she is leading or behind. From this book, you had a chance to know the other side of Monica. She is gracious, humane and always willing to give. She is just a great champion on and off the court. In contrast, you can also see the personalities of many top players. They are selfish and never showed symathy for Monica's tragedy . I learnt a lot from the book and understand why Monica was voted as the Sanex Hero of the year.

Awesome addition for the tennis player/collector.

It's really inspirational. Monica is awesome.

I`m sure no reader will rate this review as helpful - negative reviews are never appreciated. But this is a very boring read, and makes the stabbing out to be the only remarkable event in Seles` life. There is plenty of wallowing in selfpity. Understandable about the stabbing, but the objections to her grunting, deaths of people in her life and every other bridge she has ever crossed in her life are written in meticulous detail so the reader is left in no doubt about what a hard life Seles has had.

I used to like Monica Seles before I read this book, but this nauseating read made me think otherwise. It is deservedly out of print.
