Customer Reviews

This book had very good detailing of how Kwan skated.

The book I read, "Born To Skate," was the best bool on a bibliography that I have ever read. The book had a lot of excellent detailing, which made the book sound a lot better. Michelle Kwan's story about her was interesting and educating. It talked about her dreams when she was little and how she made her dreams come true.Her big dream was to go to the olympics, which she did and to become a world figure skater, which she also did. She always lived up to her expectations in life. She always kept a smile on her face even when she was down.This story about Michelle Kwan's life was so wonderful to read about, because everything was positive about her attitude. Born To Skate was a good story about people living up to their dreams and never letting go of them no matter what. In the story she said, "Always live up to your dreams!"

I loved this book!

This book, besides giving tons of information on Michelle, had a great little directory in the back about all the jumps and spins. It taught me how to do my first lutz! I loved this book like I said and I hope you will too, but only another figure skater could give it 5 stars.

In depth, informative, takes you inside the skating world.

This biography was a terrific look into the world of figure skating. It always helps to have someone who knows first hand what the sport is like to write about it. It also made you feel that you really knew Michelle once you read it. A really good book on the sport and performer.

inresting facts i found about her that i had never known

the book was intresting and full of things really never told on a television event.
