OMG MLR 4EVA!

omg this is the best book I've ever read. I picked it up at my Christian Mothers of More than Three Children Class (where we discuss how to populate the world with more of the Holy Spirit by having more children) and it was just wonderful. If your or your child is a gymnast, you must read this book to learn how to perfect your extension and show off your lines. An absolute masterpiece!

Best book I have ever read!

This book was wonderful. I picked it up at my library and I finished it within four days! I could not put it down. I am the type of person who hates to read but this is definetly a five-star book. I recommend this book to any gymnast. This book makes you want to go to the gym. It gave me a great example that teaches me that hard work pays off. Mary Lou is the best gymnast in the world you may not believe it now but after you read this book you will! One word to describe this book, EXCELLENT!

At first I didn't really like it! I loved it.

When I first started it I wasn't sure I'd like it. But I did. It was a well written story and it was neat to find out about Bela's past. I didn't know all that cool stuff about him. You should read this book if you love Gymnastics, Mary Lou or Bela.
