Rating: 5 stars
Summary: AWESOME!
Review: As a gymnast I never paid much attention to Kerri Strug. I was always rooting for Kim Zmeskal, Shannon Miller, or Dominique Moceanu. After her stunning performances in Atlanta I was urged to read this book. I could not put it down. I never realized how many times she moved, the injuries she had, and her struggle to acheive her goals. After reading this revealing book I never looked at Kerri Strug the same.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: A book that really makes you think about Kerri Strrug
Review: Before I read this book, I didn't really ccare for Kerri Sttrug. I thought that she was a media hog. Now that I read the book, it made me look at her in a different way. She is now one of my favorite gymnasts.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: This book deserves 10 stars
Review: Before I read this book, I didn't really know much about Kerri, except that she had hurt her foot doing a vault at the Olympics, and had somehow become America's darling.

But after reading this book, I now know Kerri for who she is: a marvelous gymnast who was always in the shadows and never seemed to pull everything together during competitions. How she came so close to making the All-Around competition in Barcelona, only to be edged out by .14 of a point.

This book will make you laugh, cry, and wonder how she could come back after injury upon injury and still continue gymnastics. This book will tell you about her joys and triumphs, and her defeats and despairs.

Since I have read this book, Kerri Strug has become my favorite gymnast, not just because of what she did at Atlanta, but what she did to get there. I promise you, if you read this book, you will be left with a profound respect of the girl who could continue on, despite the pain and setbacks.

My only recommendation is read it!

Rating: 5 stars

Review: I do gymnastics and love to read about is so this book is great for me! This book is full of pictures and useful information. It has from when she was a baby to when she stuck that wonderful vault. If you are looking for a good gymnastics book or just a good book I would buy this one.

Rating: 5 stars

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: An inspirational book.
Review: I read this book and it is very inspirational for new and old athletes. I its almost as good as Michael Johnsons book, "Slaying the dragon." I'm am the type of guy who loves to read books by athletes. And Kerris is on my top ten list!

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: This is a wonderful book!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Review: I read this book for my biography/autobiagraphy book report. The moment I began reading this book I knew it was just the book for me. I didn't want to stop reading it. I read it non-stop (or almost non-stop-nobody could read something this long non-stop, because it would interfere with there life) and I wished it ahd never ended. It tells about Kerri's triumphs and losses, the times she did very well in a compitition, and the times she didn't. It told about her life long goals. This is one of the best books I have ever read, and I recomend it to all readers interested in gymnastics. It was the best book I've ever read.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Amazing Book!!
Review: I really enjoyed reading Kerri Strug's autobiography. Her legendery vault, the Yurchenko with a one-and-a-half twist, helped the USA 1996 Olympic Team win a gold medal! I really thought this was a terrific book. Kerri talks about her triumphs, struggles, victories, experiences and so much more. She tells her complete story, starting from baby years, all the way up untill after the 1996 Olympic Games. Her story is a great inspiration to all gymnasts. If you enjoy gymnastics or are a fan of Kerri Strug, then this book is a must-read!

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Inspirational!
Review: Kerri is a wonderful peson to read about and this book tells her fellins and the troubles she went through to get where she is today. This book gives hope and high goals to all the gymnasts in the world today.
