it was a fine YA story

Revisado: 05-27-23

the author was on NPR and discussing the book several years ago. I finally got around to getting the book after seeing a note scribbled on a pad while cleaning out my junk. at first the story is pretty good but then it just takes a turn for the better which obviously isn't how life actually goes. I suppose it's mildly inspirational for a teenager struggling with body image. as a 45 year old woman it lost me in the last half. the narration was fine. all of the adults sounded the same. it's, it's a fine book

the prologue is the best part

Revisado: 12-22-21

I really wanted to enjoy this book but it was really hard to even finish. the very first part which wasn't written by the author laid out what to expect from the book but the book never lived up to it.

I knew ballet was messed up...

Revisado: 09-02-21

I've been dancing ballet for 32 years and I knew that ballet was a messed up system but I was not aware it was this messed up. I don't have the hips or the feet and now after reading this book I'm okay with that. I've been striving to get back on pointe, and now that is gone. I will never dance in pointe shoes again. I knew it was sexist and racist but again not at the level that was discussed in this book. at the end of the book it asks if the author would be willing to let their children dance ballet. My answer is a resounding "No." Not until ballet gets its sh!t together. A wonderful read and I will read it again.

How is this 3 books long?

Revisado: 05-03-21

the concept presented at the beginning of the book was great. the entire time I was listening I kept wondering how the writer was able to make this story so long. this book could easily have been three to four hours. I don't understand how this was published or how it's getting the high reviews it's getting. there is no way I will torture myself with two more books.

I thought this was great!

Revisado: 04-08-20

I didn't find this to be that much different, in how the story was presented, from the first book. I listened to both at 1.25 speed. This made it easier for me to stay engaged. I really enjoyed the new characters and just bought Children of Dune. Just a great story overall.
