Book Reviews of Iceman: My Fighting Life
Book Review: An MMA Fan Review
Summary: 5 Stars
This book really put it into perspective how mainstream MMA has become. I didn't realize just how popular the sport and its fighters have become until I read this book.
The book also provides details and insight into why Chuck does what he does. It provides life changing events and the decisions Chuck made to keep going. I find myself thinking of Chuck's life and the decisions he made and it provides a calming influence to me as I now understand that life can only beat you up if you let it. I found the book helpful in understanding Chuck and I am an even bigger Liddell fan since reading the book.
Book Review: Iceman-My Fighting Life by Chuck Liddell
Summary: 3 Stars
I am a huge fan of the Ultimate Fighting Championship (UFC) mixed martial arts sport, and this book is an informative and insightful look into the early days of the sport and the rise and ascension of arguably one of its biggest and most charasmatic stars, Chuck Liddell (the Iceman). It is written simply and straight-forward, and Chuck gives his own viewpoint into this fast-growing and dangerous sport, and what type of mental and physical commitment it takes to be successful. I enjoyed this book a lot, and recommend it to any new fan of the mixed martial arts sport.Book Review: Good read.
Summary: 5 Stars
I really enjoyed this book. As a fan of autobiographies, MMA and the UFC. After i read it, i felt i knew Chuck better and knew what made him tick how he got to where he was, both professionally and as a man. I felt I had a better knowledge of MMA and the UFC. It's a book about Chuck and hi slife as a fighter, not the history of MMA and the UFC, but since he was a part of the second comming, he gives some good insite and behind the scenes stuff. all this made me crave more, so unfourtunatley I bought the Matt hughes book after. For that I may never forgive Chuck, Ever. Book Review: Worlds Better Than The Matt Hughes Book
Summary: 5 Stars
This is a true MMA fan book. Liddell mentions his family life and how he was raised, but its more of a side note and it is relevant to his fight career and he keeps the reader intrigued. Unlike the miserably boring Matt Hughes book, which was nothing more than a biography about his family and farmlife where fighting was just kind of mentioned here and there, the Liddell book is a very fun read. This book shows the behind the scenes lifestyle, and all the things he went through to get to where he is.Book Review: Not Great, but not bad, easy read
Summary: 4 Stars
The title pretty much explains it for me. The book was an easy read, not boring, and not great and not bad, maybe good. I felt the overall content from the book was lacking. I watch UFC and have been a fan since before he entered it, and I was glad to learn a little more about it and everything. Thats why I gave it a 4, if it would have been hard to read or slow, then it would have gotten a 3, but it was an easy good read.
