Title: What a disappointment!
Product review: I have rarely read a more poorly written or researched book. I am convinced that the eyes of an editor never saw a page of this book. Mr. Silver repeats himself over and over and often contradicts himself. It would be laughable if that were the only flaw.As the parent of two swimmers, I have followed Natalie's career eagerly and thrilled at her successes. After reading Golden Girl, I didn't even like her! She is portrayed as a whiney, vindictive ingrate who blames everyone around her for the misfortunes of life. The sense you get is that she is totally self involved and though her teammates may respect her abilities, she certainly has very few friends.I was looking for an inspirational book for my kids to read. Not only would I not give it to them I tossed it in the trash. I would be horrified for the Natalie portrayed in this book to be used as a role model by either of my children.For those looking for an inspirational book on swimming I recommend Gold in the Water.
