I love everything about Johnny, yes, a big fan! Besides being an outstanding, extremely talented athlete, he is also real and not afraid of being authentic himself. He is so comfortable with who he is, and I truly admire that. There is no question he was robbed of the metal at Olympics 2010, that was a performance of his life! He should have been on the podium, and those judges should be ashamed! I still can not believe they got away with that crime!The book was great, I enjoyed reading it and learning more about Johnny. I do agree he could have included more of his childhood stories but the competitive part was covered pretty well. It was interesting to peak into his personal life too, so full of controversy at times.I feel like he needs to write another book about his life after Olympics 2010. I hope he does! :-)
I'm not usually one to read books by/about athletes or sports in general, but as a new Johnny Weir fan I just had to take a look. So glad I did! The writing in this is so well done and really grabs your attention. Johnny is candid and honest about his life on and off the ice, and its an intriguing read. You really feel for him and what he goes through as a skater. Love you Johnny, please write another!
Great seller, great subject, sort of melodramatic writing. Really, I got this because I was intrigued about Weir after the Winter Olympics in Sochi, and wanted a more up-close viewpoint of his life than was online.After having heard Weir speak so eloquently, with such powerful command of the English language and an ability to speak in a sophisticated and worldly way, I did not expect the much more over-blown voice and tone of this book. It was like the difference between the spoken dialogue on The West Wing versus the type of whiny and catty spontaneous attitude seen on many reality or gossip shows on TV. Come on, Johnny, you can do better than this. Just being a bit of a skater-diva doesn't mean you have to lower yourself to the level of Toddlers in Tiaras!
I wish I could give this 5 stars, as I generally appreciate Johnny Weir's way with words, as well as his skating talent. And his life story to date is interesting, even to someone like me who isn't a figure skating fanatic. But I wanted more.I enjoyed reading the material that was in the book, unevenly written though it was, jumping from Johnny's breezy fanboi-style gushing over his favorite celebrities to writing thoughtfully and touchingly about his relationship with his family and his first love. (Could the uneven tone be attributed to the fact that he's said he wrote part of the book and dictated the rest to a friend who transcribed it?) Still, I appreciated that the story is told in Johnny's (often amusingly self-disparaging) voice and not a ghost-writer's.I enjoyed finally hearing Johnny's side of, and take on, so many of the stories about him and his skating, as opposed to the media's versions, including his coming clean about some of his "injuries" that caused him to withdraw from various competitions.There are a number of stories started, but not finished, while other stories are picked-up seemingly mid-story; and there are too many gaps in time with no explanation of what Johnny was doing during those gaps. Was material cut from the book that would have filled in the gaps? Was the book rushed into print before the gaps could be filled? Do the gaps exist because the book was intended to be a book of "essays" rather than an actual memoir?Johnny says much he had written had to be cut from the book because of his editors' concerns about being sued, so he couldn't "name names" and reveal all the "dirt" about figure skating as he'd once promised. And he still hasn't made up his mind about returning to competitive skating, so perhaps it was wise not to upset USFS more than this book probably already has.But surely, all the incomplete stories couldn't have been lawsuit-worthy--i.e. How and when did his pairs partnership with Jodi Rudden end? How did his relationship with his seemingly unflappable costume designer/maker Stephanie Handler start and develop over the years? How and when did Johnny get his unnamed first agent--the one who he could never reach on the phone?Johnny has some long-time close friends in the skating world who are barely mentioned in the book: Evgeni Plushenko, Stephane Lambiel, Sasha Cohen, and Tanith Belbin spring to mind. Where are the memories about skating and touring with them? There must be some interesting and entertaining stories involving them.And since he slammed skater Michael Weiss in the book, Johnny could have at least told us what the basis for the swipe was.Where are the stories I'd like to hear more about that he's mentioned elsewhere such Priscilla Hill's teaching him to drive with her skates on, or his listening to Howard Stern's radio program "Private Parts" on the car radio as his teen babysitter drove him to practice?When Johnny appeared on MTV's "When I was 17," he told some very funny stories about his 17th year, but they aren't in the book. They, and similar stories about his teenage years, would have been a wonderful addition to the book.And while Johnny does mention a few of his sometimes controversial (but usually wildly entertaining) quotes, why so few when there are so many to choose from? And why does he not explain when, where, and why he said the few controversial comments he does mention in the book? Context would have added meaning.And although perhaps not of interest to a non-skating-fan readers, where's the list of his competitions, medals, programs, music, choreographers that should be in an appendix? OK, Johnny said this is a "memoir," so I guess it's not an "autobiography" which would include the career highlights of his life so far, but still, I would have appreciated the inclusion of a reference list.So, while I enjoyed what was in the book, I wanted more. More stories, more information, and more photos, as the small number of photos in the book weren't enough. I would have liked more photos to supplement the stories in the book: photos from his programs and competitions, of his costumes, of his off-the-ice fashion choices, of his hairstyles through the years.The book was good, there just wasn't enough in it for me to give it 5 stars.
There were so many facets of this book that were informative and interesting. You have to really admire someone who can believe in them self and not let others knock you down because they can’t accept you for who you are. Good for you Johnny.
Lordy. He writes just like he talks. If you've ever seen Johnny Weir do interviews, nothing in this book will be very surprising, but some of it is very pointy, and a lot of it is hilarious. He has a lot of interesting, if sarcastic, insights into sports, fame, the USFSA, and his own brain, particularly for someone still so young. Also, that is one HELL of a pair of shoes he is wearing on the cover.
very thoughtful and entertaining.
I enjoyed this book a lot more than I expected to, mainly because Weir proves to be ruthlessly self-aware and very insightful as regards his... well... interesting career. I've always admired him as a skater, but now I admire him even more as a person, who shows great character and determination. As an equestrian, I do wish he had spent more time on his early childhood - but as someone who, decades ago, had to make that same painful choice between skating and riding (and went the other direction!), his thought process during the making of that decision rings 100% true. In some ways it's a darker book than I expected, but if anything that makes it more interesting since it shows so clearly how much MORE there was going on, on many levels, for him throughout his career than anyone outside the situation could possibly know. So - I applaud him, and can't wait for Volume 2! Best of luck in your future career - and Rock on, Johnny.
