whose done many other autobiographies. Not saying
that having a ghostwriter necessarily interferes with
telling the real story - but I think that agents and sponsors
and "wanting to keep the fans happy" has a LOT to do
with what actually gets written -which to me at least,

In the first place, he dicated all the material to Lynda Prouse ( I think it is Lynda). So he sent it all to her - she's not writing from scratch. What she edits and how she puts it together, of course, remains to be seen.
But Alexei has a history of candor in his interviews, more candor than most skaters. I think the candor will continue in his book because that's his personal style and always has been. We pretty much already know what he thinks about a lot of things, LOL, just from his interviews over the years. I think someone like Michelle Kwan is much more likely to hold back, simply because that's been her interview style over her career. She's a lot less likely to ever say anything controversial. In fact, I'm trying to think if Michelle has ever said anything that caused any commotion. And I can't think of anything, LOL...
