Book Reviews of Going for Gold: The 2008 U.S. Women's Gymnastics Team
Book Review: Good for what it is
Summary: 4 Stars
I am not in the target age range for this book, and so it does not hold the same appeal for me. But as a gymnastics fan - and seeing as I found it for a couple of dollars - I went ahead and bought the book anyway.
Written before the 2008 Olympics - and even before the Olympic team was selected - it is interesting to see the hopes and fears of the American gymnasts, and to see the speculation and predictions about the competition to come.
This book is really for the younger reader, and is suitable even for those with a limited knowledge of the sport as there is plenty of information for the uninitiated.
Summary of Going for Gold: The 2008 U.S. Women's Gymnastics Team

After the USA's six-medal performance in 2004, the 2008 team has a lot to live up to, but they're up for the challenge! Get the inside scoop on one of the most popular summer Olympic sports with biographies on the gymnasts and information on the sport's history, events, and competition.General Books
