review 1: It's not about the pom-poms is really not about the pom-poms. It is a story of a woman who decides she wants to do something - to become a Bengal Tigers cheerleader - and does it. What makes this such an amazing story is that Laura was coming out of a terrible abusive marriage that had torn down all her self esteem and she was 40 years old. Before her marriage Laura was happy and athletic and she wanted to get that feeling back. When she saw the open call for the Ben-Gals she went for it, becoming the oldest NFL cheerleader. I admire the strength Laura showed in moving beyond the abuse, self doubt and achieving her dream.August 2012
review 2: I never thought I'd actually enjoy a book about a woman (a 40-year old woman!) trying to become a Ben-Gal :) From the ve... morery first page, Laura captured my attention. I enjoyed reading about Laura's personal life, as well as her cheer leading life. I had no idea cheer leaders are paid so little in such a high grossing sport!! Seems a bit unfair, considering the amount of money, practice and time the girls put into it! Thanks for the wonderful read! less
