Title: Disappointing and surprisingly shallow
Product review: I admire and respect Peggy Fleming's skating talent and her commentary with Dick Button is legendary in the sport. However, this book was surprisingly disappointing. It is very disjointed and she basically spends too much time telling us how wonderful, determined, graceful and talented she is rather than showing us examples and stories in her life and letting us draw that conclusion for ourselves. I have no doubt she is all of those things, but the ego that is displayed in this self-serving book is unprecidented in any of many biographies I have ever read. There were a few humourous stories, and her dedication to skating and her family is obvious and admirable. The number of times she tells us how great she is overshadows her efforts to be top notch in whatever she does. If you can check this one out from the library and have a long plane trip to read it on, go ahead. Otherwise, to over use an analogy, there are many better ways to spend your "Long Program."
