Book Reviews of Iceman: My Fighting Life
Book Review: "Iceman" is a fun,entertaining read but far from great
Summary: 3 Stars
I had interest to read this book,so I bought it.
It's not terribly long and can pretty much be read in a weekend but is a pretty fun read nonetheless.
Their are a few times you can tell the co-author, Chad Millman takes quiet a few liberties in painting extra detail into events in Liddells life.
He never over-exagerates anything,but some of descriptions of Chuck made me laugh out loud. It in some points gets a little on the "cheese" side so to speak.
Another bad mark I give to this book is the way Chuck bashes Joh Perretti.
I don't know if Liddells claim is true or not that Perretti asked him to keep his fight standing,but I hate to see a guy like Perretti who did so much for this sport,the unsung hero of MMA never get the due respect he deserves.
But other than that I think fans of Liddell with really enjoy reading this somewhat brief biography of "The Iceman".
Their are plenty of great stories in this book and for that it is worthy of ready.
Book Review: Interesting Read for UFC Fans
Summary: 3 Stars
If you are a UFC or Chuck Liddell fan you will likely enjoy this book. It isn't the BEST book I've read in terms of a "behind the scenes" story (see Eric Bishoffs book I also reviewed which I find was the best non-fiction read like this in a while for me) but it does go into detail on chucks life before the UFC as well as in the UFC. He gives somewhat interesting thoughts on each of his big matches, from Tito, the titles, his relationship with Dana White, but I can't say I was turning pages or sharing what I read with friends. It's like an ongoing interview from someone who has been there, done that, and wants to tell you all about how it went each step of the way. It was a good read in general being a UFC fan, and if you are it's probably worth the time to read it.Book Review: Never received it.
Summary: 2 Stars
The 2 stars is not for the book, it is because I never received the book. They said it was the wrong address. I did get a full refund and I'm sure it is a good book. Sorry Chuck.
