Summary: GOOD SCORE
Comment: Everybody is a critic. Although I don't ordinarily write reviews of books or movies, I was reading a couple on Amazon for this book and decided to offer my opinion. This was a fun book to read. I'm not saying it's up there with "Gond with the Wind," but the writer wrote a cool book, I think. It's a book you can read on a long airplane trip, or over a rainy weekend. I ordered it with that in mind and got what I expected and wanted. One reader called it an "All About Eve" retread. I guess in a way it is. But that classic storyline works well with a traveling ice skating show as a backdrop. I know from personal experience. I also know real-life characters like the ones in this book, which is maybe why I liked it too. And maybe the reviewer who said it was worthless is a famous skater and was mad because the writer was writing about him. If so, I think I know who that reader/skater is because I've been around ice shows all mylife. Granted, some of the sex scenes in the book are a little lame. But one in particular is very sexy. But overall, I would recommend this book to readers who want to know about gay skaters in shows like "Stars on Ice" and "Champions on Ice." I give it thumbs up.

Summary: So So BAD!...An Embarassment
Comment: My toes literally curled as i read the awful, campy, porno prose the author cooked up for this pathetic All About Eve retread. Not a single interesting character, awful, awful dialouge (like listening to 17 yr old queens in a piano bar) and a clankingly unoriginal plot stolen from a great movie. Lots of typos too..as far as I read since I couldn't finish this tripe. What an embarassment that this is a "gay novel." Makes ya wanna go straight!!!

Summary: RAINBOW ICE's Flavor of the Month review
Comment: Sometimes campy, sometimes hilarious gay male skewering of the tackiness that abounds when talented skaters miss eligible greatness but still want to earn money skating. There are lots of fantasies in this novel. There are, of course, sex scenes of many varieties. There's a running fantasy about monogamy and true love, as well. It's a slightly different universe, populated by gay men everywhere: the doormen, the cab drivers, the police officers, guys making out passionately in public. When you stumble into the hotel room of a stranger, it's someone gay and hot. Some readers will recognize in the author a kindred soul who has clearly choreographed his own fantasy programs more than once. The figure skating establishment may not have much to say about gay male culture -- at least, not officially -- but as Gay Blades proves, that doesn't stop gay male culture from having something to say about figure skating."-- RAINBOW ICE: Lesbian, gay, bisexual, and transgendered issues in the sport of figure skating (http://www.plover.com/rainbowice/flavor0903.html)
