A Great Book

Tara Lipinski not only told the interesting story of her life in this book, but it tell and explains a lot about figure skating. I admire all that she has done for her skating. She is one of the best.

Edited Review

We love you Tara! You are wonderful and talented. God bless you!

Charming and interesting!

This book was a delightful journey into the life of a young skater who is breaking through to the top of her sport. I loved the information that I gained about the ups and downs of elite figure skating.My favorite thing about the book was how real it made everything seem. Though I consider myself a relatively knowledgable skating fan, this book told me countless things that I had been unaware of previous to reading it.Tara herself is a true inspiration, and this book took me into her life. I loved it! Like I said, it's a truly charming book and I would strongly recommend it to anybody interested in skating.

Wonderful and honest

Tara is a wonderful young role model who isn't afraid of being herself. I never get the idea that her words are scripted for her unlike other skaters. She's honest, pretty, and inspirational.

Tara's Updated Auto-biography

Tara Lipinski has so many accomplishments at such a young age. She has gone through it all, great programs, disasters, bronze, silver, and of course gold. Tara has experienced one of the golds that only few skaters have and that millions of skaters dream of, Olympic Gold. Now Tara has taken skating to a new level, she has decided to make a leap into the pro world. In her book, Tara talks about how she started skating, all the way up to her Olympic Gold. I learned alot about Tara and about skating from reading this book. My only disappointment with the book was that Tara did not write about turning pro. I was looking foward to reading about the difficult decision that she was forced to make. Although this book lacked information about being a pro, I would still reccommend it to any fan of Tara's. She really is an amazing skater and an amazing person. -Allison
