4.0 out of 5 stars Good but not the best, April 23, 2000

By A Customer

This review is from: The Competition (Silver Blades) (Library Binding)

It's a very good, but definitely not the greatest. The suspense builds up as Tori tries to figure out who the mysterious stranger who's watching her at practice is. A pretty okay plot.

This review is from: The Competition (Silver Blades) (Paperback)

This is another good book by Melissa which deals with a very common problem that all athletes have... the pressure from competitions and mostly the presure from their parents.Being a former swimmer my self i remember what it was like to be waken up at 5 in the morning b4 school and I remember the pressure I used to get from my parents during training....Maybe an athletes parent should read this for a change!!!!! All in all a good book.
