Title: Do you know anything about skating?
Product review: Patrick Lynch doesn't, unfortunately. People seem to love this book or hate it, count me under the ranks of those who hate it. In fact, everyone I know who's read this travesty of fiction hates it. The one thing all the people I know have in common is that we are all skating fans. We all know something about skating... and you would think that a man about to write a novel about a famous skater would consult a *skating* expert? Not Patrick Lynch... all his thank-yous are to medical experts, crime experts and such. He obviously doesn't think one needs to know anything about skating to write a book about a skater. He goes on to prove that ably. Figure of Eight could have as easily been about any famous person: an actress, a musician. Normally, that would indicate a strong, universal story. Not in this case.If you're a skating fan, don't buy this one.
