Think cheerleading is just pom-poms, "gimme an 'R,'" and pleated skirts? Not any more. College cheerleaders are extreme athletes who fly thirty feet in the air, build pyramids in which a single slip can send ten people crashing to the ground, and compete in National Championships that are won by hundredths of a point. These are people who risk horrifying injuries on a daily basis, battle demons like eating disorders and steroid use, and form intense bonds, and this book is a year-long odyssey into their universe, following three squads from tryouts to Nationals.--From publisher description.… (más)

Like Pledge, which takes an inside look at sorority life, Cheer! focuses on competitive cheerleading, a strange corner of femininity I have never inhabited.
An engrossing, if alien read.
I stayed up way, way too late, reading about three cheerleading teams trying to make it to national championships. Would they make it? Would they do all their stunts flawlessly?
Some of the suspense came from how lethal a failed stunt could be. Yikes! I had no idea cheering had so much peril. ( )

I love watching cheerleading, dance, gymnastic and similar synchronized routines (and was, after all, a majorette), so this book should have been up my alley. But the description of 3 very different schools' paths through competitive cheering was not too interesting. There wasn't a whole lot of drama, and I got bogged down in descriptions of moves I wasn't familiar with. This might have been better as a documentary, where the visual aspect could be better portrayed. ( )
