Summary: Landing It: My LIfe On And Off The Ice
Review: This book is a fantastic read for any figure skating fan. This is the first book of complete information about Scott Hamilton's life. It is very well written by Scott himself and a very inspiring story!

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: A Great Read
Review: This book tells the story of a man who showed the world that anything can be done with faith. I had a hard time putting this book down. I highly recommed this book for anyone.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Loved It -- very impressive!
Review: This book was probably one of the best books I've ever read...it only fell a little short in the beginning of the Epilogue (which I thought was a little off track). I would recommend this book to anyone who has ever even heard of Scott Hamilton (or who hasn't) because we can all learn so much from reading it about life. This book was very thought provoking for me and I came away from it with a great deal. It was everything I expected and more. From the autographed cover to the last sentence this book was made with Scott's fans in mind and I can really appreciate that. Read the book, learn about Scott Hamilton, and you'll come away richer for it. I guarantee it!

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: A Good Book
Review: This is a good read. Anyone who has seen Scott Hamilton perform should read this book. He has to be one of the best entertainers in the business today and he always comes across as sincere and personable. This is a good read because it allows you to get to know Scott a little bit and he doesn't pull any punches while telling his story. He's also overcome adversity in his personel life but still remains a down-to-earth person. My only criticism would be that at times he gets a little too technical for us weak-ankled skaters. I have seen him perform personally five or six times and he never fails to come through; he's terrific. He has done this again in writing this book.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Wonderful book!
Review: This is a wonderful autobiography of one of my favorite skaters. Anyone who likes skating should read it.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Scott Hamilton Not Only Lands It, He Nails It!
Review: This is by no means a self-serving autobiography, it is a journey that Scott Hamilton takes his readers through. Scott has somehow managed to be an objective spectator of his own experience and takes the reader on a tour that is both revealing and refreshing in its honesty.

Here is the history about a common, everyday person facing hardships, obstacles and losses juxtaposed with fame and fortune. This is a story about the yin and yang of tradegy and triumph.

In this book, Scott reveals some of the politics of the Olympics and his feelings about the rules governing figure skating. He wears his heart on his sleeve throughout the book. The emotions (good or bad) that he has experienced are all in there for you to read. He, also reveals some of his love interests. I was surprised by one of them!

This book is a MUST read for Scott Hamilton fans, friends and anyone facing challenges. This book is a MUST read for any figure skating fan! For Scott Hamilton to have authored this book must have taken a great deal of soul searching. I applaud him for this book, as I have everytime that he has taken the "ice" since I first saw him in 1979.

Kudos to you Scott, wherever you are!

Summary: Fantastic Book!!
Review: Triples, flying sit-spins, axels, performances sprinkled with humor, strength, technical artistry, battling cancer, inspiring, motivating, showcasing legions of other skaters-- and still landing it with courage and grace is Scott Hamilton. I enjoyed this book which allows us to hear "his voice". Those who have faced cancer tend to look back at their life journey and re-evaluate their past behavior and decisions. So his apologies are understandable, part of the healing process, and enhances his maturity as a human being and a mega talented person. The man is courage personified on and off the ice. The book is refreshing in its honesty and approach.

Summary: A maze of fragmented ramblings.
Review: What an incredible book. I can't think of many people who wouldn't know who Scott Hamilton is. I'm willing to bet that this book will reveal things about him that even his biggest fans didn't realize. The incredible thing to me is that Scott, who is clearly and extraordinary man, sees himself as being a short, bald guy who ice skates and like to entertain. He's very human and his story is very touching.

One of the things I really liked about this book is that it's so honest and sincere. I walked away realizing that you don't have to be super human be an extraordinary person. Scott didn't do everything in his life right, not by a long shot, and he certainly wasn't blessed by genetics ... yet he's turned himself into an incredible athlete and entertainer.

I've always been a casual ice skating fan. I don't really go out of my way to watch ice skating, but I enjoy it when it's on. I've read a ton of biographies and autobiographies about all kinds of people. Landing It is my favorite in that category. It's an enjoyable read about a pretty amazing short, bald guy who ice skates.

Keep landing them Scott!
