She chronicles the scary side of competing in the sport - eating disorders, no life outside the gym, and her body will be forever damaged. I cannot imagine EVER having my kids in this lifestyle - not to mention the parents have no life either with all the carpooling to practices, etc. An even better gymnastics read? "Little Girls In Pretty Boxes: The Making and Breaking of Elite Gymnasts and Figure Skaters." <br/><br/><a href="http://www.goodreads.com/review/list/207997?utm_medium=api&utm_source=blog_review">View all my reviews.</a>
