Editorial Reviews: Marion Jones: Life in the Fast Lane is the candid and inspiring tale of one of the most scintillating athletes of our time, told in her own words with author and journalist Kate Sekules. In Life in the Fast Lane, Marion explores a wide range of on-and off-the track issues, including the personal side of extreme athletic commitment, her lifelong struggle to make peace with her father's abandonment, the explosion in womens athletics during the past decade, and her journey back to the competition and the Olympics so soon after giving birth. 4 color photos throughout
Spotlight customer reviews: Customer Rating: Summary: All Lies!! Comment: In this cover up masquerading itself as an inspirational tale we get a story of overcoming the odds to win it all. I'll acknowledge Marion's inner strength and determination but there is one humongous glaring omission. Never once does she mention BALCO or her use of steroids. Those are the things that propelled her to stardom in the 2000 Olympics. If you're a young girl looking for a fictionalized, albiet loosely based in reality hero, then this is the book for you. If you're looking for a truthful account of one of track and fields most celebrated athletes, you're looking in the wrong book. Customer Rating: Summary: Easy Read, Excellent Illustrations Comment: 9/19/08 This autobiography of Olympic athlete, Ms Marion Jones is well written and has many great illustrations...It does not have an index ; in my scanning of the book ,I did see the names of people and places ,which in my opinion, did merit being listed within an index. 9/19/08 abj Customer Rating: Summary: Excellent read Comment: Excellent book.
