the great eight by scott hamilton is the story of the life and trials of scott hamiltion. with a passion for skating and the healing it brought, scott found his place. with the trials that life brought, scott always clung to the foundations he learned during the early days of staking. the simple truths he learned that became his driving force, he shares with his readers with hopes that they will too find a strength to carry one, in whatever hand life has dealt them.
honestly, i seriously struggled to read this book. it is not that it was a bad book, there were some great points in the book, but being a cancer survivor myself i found the truths and hope he offered meant something, but at times it seemed cheesy and over simplified. for some this book could be a great encouragement, it could touch hearts and help carry you through whatever you are facing. although i did not completely the book for myself, i will be passing the book along to a friend facing a difficult time.
