This book will give you the facts and inside scoop of the wonderful ladies. Some of the stories the team tells are hilaroius. It's not the best book I've read but it's great for young girls to see how they got to the highest level.

It's a fun read. You can jump in anywhere and learn how the players approach the game. I like the pictures of the players when they were kids. The childhood story about Lori Farr stealing the ball from her own team player, who was playing slow, and scoring cracked me up!!! Niffty price- for a lot of entertainment.

If you are a fan of any player on the US womens team and wonder what they do in there life (Yes they do have a life out side of soccer)this is the book for you. Your brothers picking on you saing girls cant play sports. Will now you can prove him wrong. Hand him this book tell him to read the first page, it will make him think twice before he makes fun of womens soccer again. This book has each player tell about there life in and out of soccer. They tell of all the interesting hobbies they have and some of am even rat on there team mates. If you buy this book and dont enjoy reading it you are not a true womens soccer fan.

This book is fantastic. It gives an inside look at each player to pass through the National team program for an extended period of time. Includes player interviews and a sort of "rap"sheet for each player, like their most embaressing soccer moment, their favorite number, and other interesting facts. I would recommend this to anyone who is interested in learning more about the Womens National team. Don't Miss it!!

All american girl is the storyr of the golden oldies of the Womens National soccer team! It shows how some 10+ ordinary girls came together to make a HUGE difference in the history of sports! Best book ever!!!!!!

It was wonderful. I could not put it down for a second!!!! Alot of it is what is behind the stardrom. I Highly Recomend it!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I love this book!! It's filled with facts on all the players and explains how they got their start. There are so many great color photos too! I'm recommending it to all my friends.

I couldn't put All American Girls down from the moment I picked it up! I expected to find facts about my favorite players and maybe learn a little bit about those who weren't as familiar. Instead I found myself hurrying to read each new page; I found myself crying and laughing as I felt a deep respect for these professional women and their families.

I found that my chaotic life isn't as bad as it once seemed, that spending almost every waking moment on the soccer field is worth every second (even if my daughter's experience doesn't lead her to the World Cup).

From now on, when I'm sitting in my chair, sunburned from hours of baking under the sweltering California sun, I will think of Marla's book. I will consider what Mia, Julie and Michelle's parents must have gone through. When my friend's say to me, "Get a life", I'll remember that I have one of the best. And, when my younger children say that I'm not fair for spending "too much time on the field", I'll remind them that their own hard work will always pay off.

Watching the World Cup games have never been more fun! Thanks Marla

I really enjoyed reading All American Girls. It was informative and thanks to Marla people get to see how talented these young women are.

If u don't have this book, u must buy it because i never liked soccer untill my friend bought me it. I was hooked. I read it 5 times that is how good it was. Please buy the book. If u don't, you are missing out....... BIG time.
