No surprises - By: T. Bently, 11 Jul 2008
Iceman is a nicely-presented, easy-to-read life story of Chuck Liddell. There are lots of colour & black & photos & it looks good. Unfortunately it doesn't tell you anything you couldn't pretty much guess for yourself about the guy.

For instance (these are alll captions from the book),

I always push myself to the limit when training.

Victor Belfort took me off guard with a nice pop but in the end I nailed him some major blows & won by unaanimous decision.

I was proud to become a part of John's team of Pit monsters.

Is there any UFC fighter who doesn't give 100%? Or who doesn't respect his trainer? Liddell's comments tend either to be either fatuous or utterly unsurprising.

You can only conclude the sole reason for writing this book is to jump on the current bandwagon for biographies of MMA stars.
the iceman came - By: D. S. Hammond, 12 Jun 2008
Being a long time UFC fan I was looking forward to this book but felt after reading it that too much was missed out for PC reasons. A average read not on the scale of little evil but better than matts?
hmm i was expecting better... - By: C. F. Mason, 09 May 2008
this book could have been a whole lot better...it doesn't tell any stories of streetfights...or famous excess...in fact theres hardly any funny stories in there either...
i want to read about incidents on the street...arguements...details...humour...other famous people...parties...etc...

its a bit pg...
Quality book - By: Marcus, 05 Apr 2008
I bought Chuck's book last weekend & it took me just 3 days to read it. It's very interesting & easy to read. Chuck is one of my favourite MMA fighters & I was glad to see his autobiography coming on the market.

Chuck describes his childhood at the beginning, later on he describes how he started with martial arts & then he talks about his fights in the ring & cage. Talks about UFC & also his personal life & life style.

Very interesting, have a go. You won't be dissapointed.
Cool as ice - By: K. G. A. Alavi, 31 Mar 2008

This was one of the best biographies I have read this year. I was reallly surprised at how well the book is written. If anyone thinks the UFC athletes are just jobless brawlers PLEASE read this book.

In the book itself you find out how serious Chuck is about martial arts, not just fighting (even though he makes not secret that is his favourite part), but the discipline & dedication you need to be a serious martial artist.

One of the amazing thing about this book, is Chuck's ability to talk about his many accomplishments (and there are a hell of a lot of them) with out bragging. He gives his personal opinion on alll the people he has met, from Dana White, to Tito, & everyone he has met & fought. This is a must read for alll serious martial artists.
