Summary: Inspirational!
Review: Kerri is such a hero and role model to me. I am a runner, but I think of her courage, strength and determination, and that just keeps me going. How whenever she got an injury, she taped it up, took painkillers and worked out anyway, how she had to deal with people always being slightly better than her, and how she finally acheived her dream after working so hard and enduring so much. I believe that Kerri should be an inspiration to all, because she proved that if you have a dream, you need to go for it with all your heart, and you can acheive it.

Summary: The best book EVER!
Review: Okay, this is the best book on planet Earth. I loved it so much! I've idolized Kerri ever since '96. I got the book for Christmas. I read it, and I absolutely was amazed. A whole new aspect of her came through in the book. It's like she was my best friend and she was spilling her guts to me. I mean, there are tons of things in the book that I have never known about. I cried, I actually cried, when she fell at the 94 US Classic. I almost cried tears of joy when her dreams came true. I really connected to her! THE MOST INSPIRING BOOK EVER! It inspired me! It changed my life. It made me look at life a whole new way. I mean, all the things Keri went through make me feel lucky, make me feel like I can do anything!

Summary: Totally captivating and breathtaking.
Review: This book is an excellent book for worldwide gymnastics fan. Kerri Strug gives an account of the rise and falls, ups and downs, and most captivating moments of her gymnastics career. She talks about the rough, but loving relationship she has with her coach Bela Karolyi. She talks about training at several gyms to eventually reach her bittersweet goal. I think we all remember that July night in 1996. Buy it today!!!

Summary: Cute but predictable
Review: This is a cute but rather predictable telling of Strugg's rise to fame. It glosses over (or fails to address at all) the rumors of her eating disorders and difficulties with her coaches and stresses the glory of winning much more than the cost. After reading it, I had no better idea of what made the little girl tick than I did when I started out. But it's very well written and a real page turner, and will be of great interest to fans of Kerri, if not fans of gymnastics.

Summary: Excellent book!
Review: This is definitely a great book for Kerri Strug fans. This book tells you everything you wanted to know about Kerri. Kerri goes into great deal about her past hardships and disappointments. After reading about Kerri's endless dedication and determination, you will understand how much she truly deserves her Olympic gold medal and all the fame and attention she has received since her famous vault. This book also lets you get to know Kerri as a person, not just another gymnast. I highly recommend this book for anyone who likes gymnastics and Kerri Strug.

Summary: Wonderful!
Review: This is definitely the best gymnasics biography I've read! In this book, published right after the 1996 Olympics, Kerri really opens her heart to the reader...we learn about her passion for gymnasics which started at a VERY young age, her progression through the sport, what it was really like training under Bela Karolyi, and about her family. One thing that impressed me about Kerri was how she is truly self-motivated...I think many gymnasts are pushed by parents living their own dreams through their children, but this was NOT the case with Kerri. It was refreshing to read of the loving, supportive family she has, and how completely sane her parents are (as opposed to other gym parents we've heard about, like in "Little Girls in Pretty Boxes" which I also think is an important book). I think people who are THIS driven, as Kerri is, are incredibly rare...which is why she flourished under Bela's harsh training instead of cracking like so many other girls did. She is honest about the often-times brutal training under Bela, but obviously loves and deeply respects both him and Marta and she gives them credit for contributing to her successes. There are great photos included of Kerri through the years. Awesome!!

Summary: SIMPLY GREAT!!!
Review: This is the best book I've read in a long time! It's very well written and I enjoyed every minute of it. It was very interesting learning how dedicated Kerri was to making her dreams come true and then have them actually happen. I also liked reading about Kerri as a child and seeing how she grew up to be the young lady that she is today. This book is a must read and I'd recommend it to anyone!!!
