1.0 out of 5 stars terrible, April 30, 1999
By A Customer
This review is from: Skating for the Gold: Michelle Kwan & Tara Lipinski (Turtleback)
this book was way too techincial. i could barely understand it and i am a full fledged figure skater! yup, i even skate 5 days a week, and this book is a big bore even for me. the author seemed to think tara was perfect but michelle was a clunky old wanna be. AS IF! Go Michelle! I am your biggest fan!

3.0 out of 5 stars If You Like Both Tara and Michelle...., June 17, 2001
By "sk8fan71" (Florida) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Skating for the Gold (Mass Market Paperback)
...as I do, this book would make a fair addition to your skating collection. The book was not bad -- it was an interesting read, but it didn't really tell me much that I didn't already know about both skaters. Tara and Michelle's individual autobiographies give you a far better look into their lives and their emotions throughout the especially eventful 1996-1997 skating season. The photos were good and it was a good overview of both skaters and their careers, but if you want the real story of these skaters as well, you should definitely pick up Triumph on Ice and Heart of a Champion to get the whole story.

4.0 out of 5 stars An Ok Skating Book, April 19, 2004
A Kid's Review
This review is from: Skating for the Gold: Michelle Kwan & Tara Lipinski (Turtleback)
I liked this book. It's about skating. This book really tells about skating for gold from 12 years old and on. It tells the challenges Michelle and Tara went through. I liked especially how Michelle started and the tricks she pulled on her father. This is a golden book.

I think you should read this book because it's great .If you want to know about Michell Kwan and Tara Lipinski. It's not too hard to read . It could take you one to two weeks.
