I enjoied this book, but I feel it is a bit unrealistic. I liked the dancing descriptions, but the superiority of the main charachter compared to the other charachters was annoying. Maggie's scornful attitude to an overweight dancer was just mean. And her mothers helpless attitude just got on my nerves. This book did not live up to my expectations.

I really enjoyed this book when I got it. I was probably around 13 at the time and heavily into ballet. The characters are realistic, and so are the issues of a ballet dancer. It's more than just about ballet; there are other things, family, boyfriends that have an effect on a dancer's life. And not every dancer's story ends in a climactic, brilliant performance. I liked this book and Maggie Adams a lot. I hope I find the others.

"Maggie Adams, Dancer" is one of my favorite books. I've read it over and over. It is such a realistic book, and many people can relate to the issues and situations in here. Maggie Adams' struggle to prove herself a great dancer is very inspiring, and many people can relate to it. I think that this is the perfect book for any ballet fan or dancer, or anyone who likes to read about ballet. It was a terrific book.
