Summary: One of the best books written about Shannon Miller!!!
Comment: This book by Shannon's mom was really interesting! It was a lot like her biography by Krista Quiner, except it had a lot more detail about relationships and the life of an elite level gymnast. It also talks about how having faith in her religion helped get her through the many rough times she's been through. This book had a lot of good pictures! I would recomand this book for anyone involved in gymnastics!!!

Summary: A not-too-informative bio
Comment: Although I'm a huge gymnastics fan, this book got boring rather quickly. Most interesting to me was the level of dedication which Shannon exhibited at such an early age---Claudia Miller sounds almost breathless in her recitation of the awards Shannon racked up. Unfortunately, this is little more than a blow-by-blow account of Shannon's competitions---it's far more interesting to watch them on TV than read about them! The author fails to show us anything deeper than Shannon's gymnastics and doesn't follow through with what could be interesting information (for example, the relationship between Miller and her coach as well as how Shannon's siblings dealt with her fame).
Most shocking to me was the unbelievably juvenile and controlling attitude of Steve Nunno (her coach)---Claudia Miller simply dismisses his irrational actions, often resorting to "we eventually smoothed it over".
While a dedicated Miller fan might love this book, the rest of you might just want to skip it.
Rating: 4
Summary: Overall a good book
Comment: This is a great book to read if you're a fan of shannon, obviously, but also if you were a fan of gymnastics during the early 1990's. It's fun to read about all the different meets that you saw on tv and see the athletes perspective and the behind the scenes stuff. Claudia Miller discusses, in depth, the controversial 1994 team worlds where Shannon and Nunno left the competition early. She also talks about Shannon's stalker at the 1994 Nationals. The only thing that annoyed me about this book is that sometimes Claudia passed over certain situations and made everything seem perfect when you know it wasn't. Oh well, still worth a read, buy a used copy if you can.
