No surprises
Iceman is a nicely-presented, easy-to-read life story of Chuck Liddell. There are lots of colour and black and photos and 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 all 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 and 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.

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...
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...
