This is a good basic bio of Scott Hamilton and I think it's a must read for Scott Hamilton
fans of all age. There really is nothing new here, however you have to cull this information from various sources and it's nice to be able to read about the basics of this extraordinary athlete in one this one well written book. It's brief--as a book for youth should be and yet it covers the details of Scott's life very well.

There are a couple of inaccuracies I found - Scott debuted his new costume design in 1983, not 84--and he never landed a triple lutz/triple
toe combination as stated-but nothing major.

The writing style is appropriate for youth without being overly simple. There are lots
of good quality colorful pictures of Hamilton both as a child and as an amateur and pro.

This is a good book for young people, even if they aren't big fans of skating because
Scott Hamilton is a wonderful role model for young people and this book well details the
adversities he overcame in a positive way, w
