Book Reviews of Chalked Up: Inside Elite Gymnastics' Merciless Coaching, Overzealous Parents, Eating Disorders, and Elusive Olympic Dreams
Book Review: a fascinating book
Summary: 5 Stars
I was dying to read this book after hearing so much about it but it was hard to find in the u.k. so i was made up to find it here.I found jennifers story very intersesting,she talks about when she first started gymnastics right up till she gave it up.She does say a few things that are quite shocking such as girls being called fat bitches and being slapped by the coach for messing things up.However she admits that she had a bad time mainly due to the fact that she pushed herself all the time and was like that in all parts of her life anyway.I thought this book was really good especially if you like gymnastics (obviously!).
