Their lives read like a beautiful tragic fairy tale. So much love, yet so heartbreaking. I remember the first time I saw them skate at the Olympics, their chemistry was pure magic~~ So young, and beautiful.

    I really enjoyed this book. They skated as partners before my time, but reading her story was very powerful. It was interesting the strange sensations that the book brought. There were times I felt sentimental, sad, happy, patriotic, ashamed, and all together nostalgic. I supose that comes because the charcters are real, and the events are true. I would recomend this book to anyone looking for a fast, heart wrenching read.

    Great book, I had to read it for a literature class and it was wonderful. I cried so much!!! It is written in such a way that you can't help but feel "involved" with the characters and their situations. Makes you appreciate life and love.
