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.

An excellent book overall. I enjoyed reading it. I recomend it to everyone, especially Monica fans!

This is a great book. I would recomend it to any Seles or tennis fan our just anybody I guess, I was touched by her couragous story.

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.

What a great read. I loved this book. I read it some time ago, but it's still fairly clear in my head. Monica wrote about life before and after her attack and how difficult it was to move on. It's very inspiring, because she looked fear in the face and overcame it. It's such a shame this even had to happen, because she never really got back to the top of her game. She could have been the best female ever ever ever to play the game, but that was taken away from her by a deranged moron. This book will capture you from start to finish. You'll shed tears for sad and happy reasons, and any sports fan should read it through. She's one tough cookie. I highly recommend this.

I just got done reading this book and am really impressed. This books shows how much character, heart and love for the game Monica really has. It lets you into all the dark and happy times of her life, and helps you to realize that this girl really fought to be where she is.

This is not the best-written book you'll read about tennis (try Feinstein's Hard Courts), but Seles' choice to be personal and candid about her struggles on and off the court (everything from weight problems to paranoia) make this an interesting read.

Awesome addition for the tennis player/collector.

It's really inspirational. Monica is awesome.
