I think the book” I believe” by Sally Pearson is a great book because I found her life interesting and it was easy to read .the book had all stories from when she was little and up until the Olympics in 2012. My favorite part of the book was the end when everything came together. I disliked the middle as it was a little repetitive at times. I would recommend it for 12 and over and for people who are interested in sport and biographies .

If you are interested in athletics, particularly hurdles, you will be able to appreciate the detail that Sally describes of each and every one of her races. She is a highly motivated, hard working and focused athlete who may inspire readers with her story of talent, determination, and self-belief.

This book is really inspiration. To all fellow athletes who are doing the 100m, 200m, and hurdles, you should definitely read this book. It has given me tips on what to do that could improve my performance in my races. I really, really, really, really liked this book. I recommend it to everyone!

A really inspiring story, very focused on the author’s specific times and specific races. Not so much about her life outside athletics, although you do get a strong impression of the mindset that enables her to achieve so much.

Only my second sports bio but you'd want a big interest in athletics to really enjoy. A chronological run through her athletic life with bits of emotion thrown in. Did enjoy the more detailed analysis of her run but would have liked more detail on training.

This book is a really good book and I wold recommend to all athletes or people who would love the Olympics or running. Sally is so inspiring and this book is such a good read!

Sally is a legend, her success well-deserved, but I didn't feel her autobiography did her justice. Her early life was interesting but as the book progressed it seemed to morph into a list of events and results - quite repetitive. I'd like to know more about Sally, about what motivates her, about the important relationships in her life, about the conversations and observations from her journey.
