 Extremely boring & dull January 27, 2005

I found this book at a used bookstore and I was so disappointed. I am a RABID gymnasics fan, but this book could not hold my attention at all. It basically chugs along, describing meet after meet after meet after MEET...score after score after score...and the writing was contrived. In the back of the book the author lists her sources, which mainly consist of past articles from International Gymnast magazine and televised gymnastic meets. There's nothing new or fun or exciting in here, and you definitely do not get inside Kim Zmeskal's head to see what motivates her. If you were a fan of gymnasics during Kim's career, you already know everything in here already (except for all the painful recitations of numerous scores from numerous meets which the author dutifully reports). For a REALLY insightful gymnastics biography, read Kerri Strug's book, "Landing on my Feet."
 Great Biography! February 18, 2003

This is the perfect book for all Kim Zmeskal or gymnastics fans. Just like all of Krista Quiner's other gymnastics biographies, this one was excellent! You learn so much about Kim: how she got started in gymnastics, her early competitions: her feelings about Bela Karolyi, and so much more! It allows you to see the hard work and sacrifices someone has to make to succeed in elite gymnastics. The book lets you watch Kim grow from an aspiring gymnast to a role model to many. Great job on writing another fantastic biography, Krista Quiner!
Kim Zmeskal Determination to Win is a winner! November 23, 2000
Take it from someone who knows this is a great book! i have read it at least 7 or 8 times through, and after this book, you really know everything about this American Gymnast. I honestly became obsessed after reading this book, and although she has now retired many videos are still available of Kim. She was a phenominal gymnast that paved the way for Shannon Miller aand others. This book is great for someone that knows everything about gymnastics, like me, or to someone who knows nothing like when I first read the book. This was the book that got me hooked as her fan, and I recommend it to everyone
This was a great book about this awesome champion. April 2, 1999
