Fascinating and Addictive Insight
By Alexa
This book follows Dominique Moceanu from her birth right through to present day. The book switches between her talking about her life growing up, her family, gymnastics and her adult life where she discovers she has a long lost sister. There are also two sections of pictures taken throughout this time.I was hooked reading this book once I started. Dominique Moceanu suffered a lot at the hands of both her parents and her coaches. She trained with the legendary Bela Karolyi and it was fascinating (but not always nice) reading about her time training with him and the methods he and his wife used. There is a chapter devoted to the 1996 Olympics and the Magnificent 7 (although secretly I wished there was more - but then entire books have been written about the subject!). It was also enlightening to read about what happens to a gymnast after their moment in the spotlight. Moceanu's career took a drastic down turn after the Olympics and it was interesting to see how she overcame weight gain, lack of a coach, emancipation from her parents as well as other difficulties to try and make a comeback. Towards the end of the book you also gain an insight into the politics of Women's gymnastics in America and the devastating effect this can have on a girls careers.One downside was that at points I felt like there wasn't much about gymnastics - which is strange because over half the book was about her career as a gymnast. I think this was because she focuses on her relationships, difficulties and successes more than on the actual gymnastics. Don't get the wrong idea - there is still a lot of gymnastics in this book, just not as much as in, say, Kerri Strug's autobiography. And also, a lot of the book is devoted to her talking about discovering her sister. While this was interesting I think sometimes these chapters were a little long and the way the chapters alternated between past and present became a little frustrating at times.The only other downside was that it felt like the book was written more for an American audience. In America, Moceanu was a minor celebrity and her life was splashed all over the tabloids whereas I barely knew anything about her. This meant that at times during the book I felt a little lost as I think she presumed the reader has this background knowledge.Overall, I would highly recommend this book. Once I started reading it I couldn't put it down. It shows an interesting, and an important, insight into the life of a young elite gymnast. Fascinating read for any sport or gymnastics fan.

Prefect pre olympic read
By Jaq
Dominique Moceanu is one great lady, she was a beautiful gymnast, and despite having a violent childhood and some monstrous coaches she came out the other side loving the sport and still works hard to promote it.The book covers the good times and bad in gymnastics and home. The gymnastics part is not revelatory for gym fans but rather confirms what many had suspected.The family part of the other hand throws out a whopper of a surprise.A great read.

Dominique presents her story of growing up training under Bela ...
By Alicia R.
Dominique presents her story of growing up training under Bela and Marta Karolyi to becoming a team gold medallist at the Olympics 1996. The discovery of a sister she never knew she had makes the memoir unique in comparison to other stories. Although this story presents the negative aspects of training and Dominique's family life, the way in which she handles adversity and comes to terms with her past is heart warming.
