5.0 out of 5 stars Behind the glamor, some hard truths about dance, October 16, 1998

By A Customer

This review is from: Body Lines (Heart Beats) (Paperback)

I love ballet and I always dream of being a ballet dancer though I know I am probably not good enough. I take ballet lessons and envy the girls who are very thin. Until I read this book I never really thought about how unhealthy being too thin can be. I think if Daly's father hadn't lost his job she'd still try to get too thin because she thinks and her teacher thinks she is fat when she isn't. I have a serious crush on Ray. Carlos is cool but Ray is more fun. Everyone should read this book. The kids and the story go on just like a real t.v. soap opera. I am never sure exactly what will happen. And you have to buy the next book to figure it all out. Even if you don't love ballet you will love the story. I already have book three, In the Spotlight and I really love that too. I don't want to give the end of two away so I can't say more. I only wish there were more about Laverne and about the ballroom school too.

5.0 out of 5 stars It's not easy not eating., April 25, 2001

By A Customer

This review is from: Body Lines (Heart Beats) (Paperback)

This book is a good book about a girl with an eating disorder. This book has a good lesson about eating disorders. Someone who thinks they're big would probably like this book because they can relate to what's going on.

5.0 out of 5 stars This book has everything--it's amazing, February 23, 1999

By A Customer

This review is from: Body Lines (Heart Beats) (Paperback)

This is the second book I've read in the series and it's even better than the first. I loved the story about Daly's family facing hard times and how that affected Daly and her eating problem. And then there's the story about Sophy and how she and Carlos might have a thing, or she thinks they do but he doesn't. And of course the dancing's all great--it's like this whole world that you really feel exists. I love these characters!
