Summary: Nicely done . . .or but what he did - he did it well!
Review: A truly wonderful read - Scott has shared his love for the sport - and his spirit lives in the pages of this book. While I found some of the "skating politics"to be a bit dull in some parts, the book truly captured the image of the energetic, personable entertainer I've loved to watch over the years.I appreciated his candor and ability to know just how much to share with his public. I respect his decision to keep some of the stories off the pages of the book. His life so far has been a true inspiration.

Summary: A maze of fragmented ramblings.
Review: And I thought "Zero Tollerance" by Toller Cranston was bad! "Landing It" is basically one long apology cover to cover. Hamilton uses the book to apologize for anything he ever did to anyone in his life -- and as a way to say things that he obviously cannot or will not articulate face to face. "Landing It" reads almost like a suicide note -- a vain effort to made amends and state reasons why he behaved a certain way toward a certain person. Extremely boring reading 80 percent of the time. Hamilton's insecurity as a skater and person came through loud and clear, and that is a somewhat surprising character trait that is perhaps subconsciously revealed by Hamilton in the book. With so much going for him, Hamilton by now should know he has made it and doesn't need to prove a thing to anyone. He's been good for the development of the sport of figure skating, but he should not leave his day job. As a story-teller and the subject of a 470+ page paperback, Hamilton just doesn't cut a good figure. Buy a copy of "Landing It" if you love Scott Hamilton and want to read a pointless book. Skip it otherwise; "Landing It" definitely was two-footed.

Summary: A good read for fans of the "skate god for life"
Review: Fans of Scott Hamilton will enjoy this book. It's a little on the saccharine side, but most of Scott Hamilton's fans would probably expect that, anyway.

Summary: honest book
Review: Hooray for Scott. This is an honest book about his career and training. I am a figure skater and trained with one of his coaches and know the friends that he speaks about. I was a volunteer for the 1982 Nationals in Indianapolis. So I can easily say that what Scott says happened, did. I was there watching. Good book.

Summary: Touching Look into the Life of the World's Best Skater
Review: I can't begin to say just how much i enjoyed this book! Scott's humor in this book is all over, and can also make you want to cry when he talks about his family memebers. I think that EVERYONE should read this book, it's a true backstage look into the life of a male figure skating battling everything from illnesses to the rumors that come with the job.........

Summary: Well, I thought he was a class act...
Review: I guess I don't appreciate when the rich and famous dish dirt. I like Scott Hamilton, but I didn't care much for his dishing dirt on some of his fellow skaters. I think he was unfair to some skaters by betraying what I think should be an unspoken pact between people: What's said or done in private is just that, private. I've lost a good amount of respect for Mr. Hamilton after reading his book. He could learn a lot about class and respect for a person's privacy from other skaters like Kristi Yamaguchi & Brian Boitano who have written thoroughly wonderful books without digging in the dirt.

Summary: Like an old friend
Review: I have always loved Scott Hamilton. Maybe it is because he comes from Bowling Green, OH, and that is where my dad is from. Maybe it is because he has overcome so much adversity in his life. Or, maybe it is because he is a fantastic figure skater. I think, it is a little of all three. I was living in Ohio (just a few miles down the road from Bowling Green) at the time when Scottie was making it big in professional skating. We were so excited to have a local boy in the Olympics. And we rallied around him even more as we were told the story of his ill-health as a child, an illness that stunted his growth. Over the years, we all grew up. If there was ice skating on TV, I hoped that Scottie would be there too..in any capacity, commentating, or skating..but I preferred skating. Then, a few years ago IT happened. Cancer. And once again, Scottie overcame the illness and came back on the ice. This book is a wonderful look at what life was like for Scott Hamilton. About the work he put into figure skating, and what life is like on the road. He has bared his soul for this book, and brought himself into more hearts than ever before. This is a highly recommended book for anyone who likes to read biographies, wants insight into life of a figure skater, or perhaps for someone living with cancer who wants inspiration!! I laughed and cried when I read this book. Cried alot! I don't know that I could have handled myself with as much dignity as Scott did. I salute him!

Summary: Enjoyable light reading - left me wanting more
Review: I have been waiting for this book to come out. I enjoyed it - it was a nice visit with Scott. The only complaint I have is that he is the ultimate insider in the figure skating world. I was hoping to read more inside stuff. He weighed in on Tonya Harding, and dropped a few names of skaters he has dated. I polished off the book in two days - OK, so I set some time aside to do it. I gave it 4 stars, and if he ever decides to write a sequel, I'll read it.

Summary: Great book---BUY IT!
Review: I have just finished reading Scott's book and feel as if he were sitting across from me having a long conversation....this is a great book. Any fan of ice skating, Stars on Ice, sports commentary, Winter Olympics, and/or overcoming numerous adversities--BUY THIS BOOK! Scott gives the insiders view to training for the Olympics and the politics of skating. He also devotes a touching chapter to Sergei Grinkov and Katia Gordeeva the former pairs skaters (Sergei died unexpectedly from heart problems, leaving his partner in skating/wife Katia and their young daughter.) A truly WONDERFUL book. I am looking forward to later years when Scott Hamilton writes a sequal!
