Summary: This is a powerful testimonial.
Review: Coop is sharing so many facets of her life: her childhood, teenage years, college years, her experiences in Europe, her love life and her love for basketball. Adversity, splendor, tragedy and beauty entwined to make the fabric that is her life. She had to learn many lessons along the way, and now her story can be an inspiration to others. You don't have to be a sports fan to enjoy this book. This is a book about life, and how your choices can lead you to success if you are willing to do the work and have faith in yourself. An easy read - I bought this book one evening after work and read it cover to cover that night. I just refuse to stop reading; I did not want to close the book. Cynthia Cooper - you got game and a whole lot more.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Excellent testimony of what is possible with a lot of faith.
Review: Cooper has truly demonstrated what it means to have faith. I was able to experience every heartache and joy with Cooper as she gave her life's testimony. She has inspired me to keep a journal of my daily battles and celebrations. I recommend that any person who has ever had to overcome a situation, whether it be personal or public, buy this book, read it, and share it with someone that you love. Cooper does not only GOT GAME, she GOT FAITH!!

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: She Got Heart
Review: Cooper's book has made me relieze that nothing can turninto something. Also Cooper provides a positive role model for anyonewho wants to better themselves and improve their way of life. This is a book that can be enjoyed by all. There was problems growing up, college, overseas (work) love, and death of loved ones. This tells the reader that everyone faces problems at many different stages of life. Also how they could be overcome with the correct outlook. END

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: She's got more than game!
Review: Cynthia Cooper could be a role model for anyone. She knows how to play the game of life as well as basketball: when to hold, when to fold, and a whole lot more.
What impressed me most? Signed to play in Italy, Cynthia didn't hang around being homesick. She took the opportunity to learn and grow.
My favorite scenes:

(1) New to Italy, she'd never even heard of famous cathedrals that someone asked her about. Later, she could have discussed the architectural history and features -- in Italian.

(2) She asked Ford to give her a marketing internship -- and she felt right at home with the men. I use this example a lot when I talk to parents who are concerned that their daughters are more interested in sports than school.

(3) She takes us behind the scenes of the championship Comets.

Hard to put down, well-written, honest -- the perfect gift for any WNBA fan or any young woman looking to her future, in or out of basketball.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Thumbs up - A must read
Review: From childhood to adulthood, from rags to riches Cynthia Cooper's story will intrigue and inspire you. The contents are straight-forward and interesting. She tells everything like it was and is. Once you start reading you will not want to put it down. A true champion.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: RAISE THE ROOF, CYNTHIA
Review: I enjoy watching Cynthia play in the WNBA. She is a great player.

This book tells you about her hard times that she went through to get where she is today. i thought it was pretty neat when she said that she wanted her whole family to live with her in Houston. Actaully, her mother the most. Her mother died of cancer on February 12. Which is my birthday.

If you like to watch her play you know how good she is. She plays the same way she writes so if you think she is a good player you know She Got Game is a good book.
