"My mom gave me this book when I was a teenager. I loved it and have kept it on my shelf, picking it up periodically. It has been years since I've read it but I think I could still relate the uncertainty with which direction to take in life. I loved the insiders look into the world of dance."

"This is a heartfelt diary about what it's like to be in the corps of the NYCB. It is a neat book to read from a former dancer's POV especially to see the awe of Balachine and the characterization of Peter Martins. It has a neat quality to being both very current in Ms Bentley's daily life while being a strong connection to the past and current future of NYCB.

This is a real dancer's diary. It goes through the ups and the downs. The desire to perfect dance while still being in the awe of the magnificence of work by Mr. B when it's done correctly."

"12/23/08: OK, yes, I'm disturbingly fixated on ballet books right now, but it has been so satisfying to read about those who choose a creative path in life. Combine the poetry and beauty of a life dedicated to art with easy-to-read prose and you have exactly what I need right now after finally conquering Gravity's Rainbow. Anyway, just started this one and it's FANTASTIC so far. Also, it's another quick read, so a great choice for anyone who is also obsessed with the world of dance. More to come later...
12/25/08: This is probably the best glimpse into the life of a ballet dancer and a ballet company that one could ever have, aside from experiencing it first hand. Bentley is incredibly honest and generous--it truly brought back memories and not just the positive ones. It is also an interesting meditation on the struggle to define one's identity and find ever-elusive happiness. A great read."
