Tara Lipinski Triumph on Ice Tara Lipinski Books

This book is nothing but shallow fluff. While Michelle Kwan's book had considerable more depth and insight, Tara Lipiniski's (ghostwritten?) autobiography is bland and superficical. She writes like a six-year-old and has a very limited vocabulary. As a teenager, I found the book so simple it was as if it was degrading my reading skills. But what can we expect from Tara besides bubbly, childish shallowness, and an attempt to be cute? Her Barbie commercial, huge grin, and ditsy, air-headed, and almost embarrassingly perky attitude are total turn-offs. At her age, she shouldn't be striving to be *cute*. Her only talent seems to be technicality in ice-skating and not much else. This book is a total waste of time and money. It will only be enjoyed by those just as simple-minded and superficial as Tara. For a more fulfilling and inspirational read, pick up Michelle Kwan's autobiography. It radiates the same maturity, grace, and depth that Kwan possesses on ice. Forget Tara. My prediction is that as time passes, Tara will fade and be replaced, while the truly talented, intelligent, and deep (both on and off ice) will remain memorable. Tara's book certainly supports my prediction.

Tara Lipinski Triumph on Ice Tara Lipinski Books Reviews

I bought this book cuz of tara and TARA IS SO OPEN IN THIS BOOK! Its incredible for young skaters. A tRuE iNsPiRaTiOn!
Tara Lipinski not only told the interesting story of her life in this book, but it tell and explains a lot about figure skating. I admire all that she has done for her skating. She is one of the best.
We love you Tara! You are wonderful and talented. God bless you!
Daughter loves it!
This book was a delightful journey into the life of a young skater who is breaking through to the top of her sport. I loved the information that I gained about the ups and downs of elite figure skating.
My favorite thing about the book was how real it made everything seem. Though I consider myself a relatively knowledgable skating fan, this book told me countless things that I had been unaware of previous to reading it.
Tara herself is a true inspiration, and this book took me into her life. I loved it! Like I said, it's a truly charming book and I would strongly recommend it to anybody interested in skating.
Large print, pictures, small vocabulary, Even though it's written by a 14 year old, but still should be much better than this. This book has showed me what's the real Tara Lipinski behind the fame.

Here're some quotes directly from the book

"The audience applauded as I finished my program.

I felt like applauding too! After my terrible short program the year before at the Worlds, I ended up taking first.

Michelle also skated well. But she stumbledd comping out of the triple lutz in her combination. She came in fourth.

Irina Slutskaya was sixth."

What's the point of telling how the Michelle messed up? and Irina?

"No, it seemed as if the crowd was reacting to Michelle's scores, which had just come up. I looked at them too. They weren't great, and I was a little confused. (Later I found out that Michelle had fallen three times during her program. She'd had a bad day.)"

Ok maybe you want to tell us how Michelle didn't skated well, maybe how she fell... but we don't need to know how many times she fell! And adding "She'd had a bad day." at the end? We know you just want to say she sucks.

Tara keeps telling who came in after her at the competitions she won. I've never been a big fan of Tara Lipinski, and after reading this book, I will never be.
I have always despised Tara Lipinski and her attitude-problem, but this pathetic excuse for a book shames both her and the sport of ice-skating, not to mention writing itself. Who in the world told this girl that she could write? Her vocabulary is far less advanced than my newborn cousin's, and her "I am the best, everyone else sucks" attitude isn't cool or cute or funny; it's pathetic and obnoxious. I was thankful that she turned pro, so I wouldn't have to hear her shrieking at the next winter Olympics, but I cannot escape from her. I read the book to see if I was possibly under-estimating her intelligence; to my shock, I found I had over-estimated it. This book is as spacey as Tara herself, though what else could be expected? As a 14 year old writer, I know that it is difficult to write in a believable way why were editors invented? I also know that even I can write better, more interesting material than this. So why haven't *I* been published???
Tara doesn't deserve to have this pathetic book in print. END
