I am a fan of DCC: Making the Team and so I decided to read this book when I saw it mentioned on a message board. It is obvious that the author is still a little starry eyed about the DCCs and the pseudo celebrity status it afforded her but there are moments of real clarity, as when she writes that she and her fellows cheerleaders were pretty girls who had been broken down or who were terrified of imperfections and responded well to being called "fat" or less than beautiful. The book is pretty honest about both the excess and poverty caused by the squad. However, it kind of peters out near the end. It could have been organized a bit better and the tale if the evil cheer coach would have been a lot more believable without the included photo of the girls reuniting with her for a reunion. But it's still an interesting read if you're a fan of reality TV or, say, JR Ewing.
Either these girls are terrible writers or their editor should find another line of work. If you can get past that, its interesting to see what life is like for someone whose fortune is their face and body. The three sisters are likeable and interesting, but ya gotta love their mother! THAT'S where the story is!
This is a fun book that delves into a family where all three daughters were Dallas Cowboys Cheerleaders. The ups and downs, their time in the beauty pageant circuit. One of the most interesting characters in the book is the Mom who makes her looks her focus of her life.
The photographs are extremely beautiful and the text is sweet and interesting. Why shouldn't these beautiful, accomplished women feel proud of their morals, goals and achievements? They worked hard to attain their cheerleading status and pageant titles. It reads like somebody's diary to me. No need to get all editorial and slam them for "poor" writing. They wrote the book in a conversational manner; sounded like they were talking to me.
It was a decent read. I thought there would be more scandal in it. There wasn't really anything earth shattering revealed about the dcc.
