review 1: This is my 1st book in sports biography. To be honest I wanted "Wilma" by Wilma Rodoulph to be my 1st one because I loved running and other than being an Olympic runner she has what you can call a special charisma.I chose Jessica's book because I wanted to know Olympian champions long road, way of living and experience the feeling of victory when they finally finish the race. The book is written in a very beautiful language both flowing and easy. In some chapters I really couldn't wait to know what will happen next but some I was forcing myself to finish. I guess it's the same way in sports or maybe life for the matter !
review 2: "I believe we all have a journey. It may be in sport or something completely different. I receive so many letters from young people ... morethat I hope are inspired by what I have done. I do not mean that they have to become Olympians, but just to find what they want to do and then not let the setbacks along the way grind them down and make them give up. I was once a small girl from Sheffield, dealing with bullies and normal teenage insecurities, but I always believed. And when you do that, life can get unbelievable." That quote pretty much sums up the book for me. It was so inspiring to read about Jess' journey to the fulfillment of her dreams. It certainly inspired me to persist in reaching mine. My only complaint is that it did feel a little rushed, and a little too short. I would have liked it if it had been longer, but it's still a great read, and my rating is actually 3.5 stars. less
