It took some time to learn but I now believe and promote the positive view that any and all circumstances can be overcome as illustrated in the book.

After reading your review, I'm curious enough about this book that I would read it if it were handed to me. However, I'm not likely to click over to Amazon to order it immediately. Thanks for your review.

Thank you for the well-written and insightful review, bookowlie! There was a good balance of what you liked about the book and the parts that were confusing. I can get a sense of how the book was set up.

Thanks. Overall the book works well as a motivational tool because there are many sections that a wide range of people would relate to.

Thanks for another wonderful review, Bookowlie. It was very enjoyable to read and I think I have a good grasp of what the book is about. It's not something that I would want to read right now, but I'll keep it in mind for the future. I may want to read it eventually. Congratulations to the author for a 3 out of 4. :)

Thanks Thimble and Kitsune! Besides being an inspirational-style book, it's also an interesting memoir.

Nice review! The book seems interesting, but it also sounds like it could use a little tidying up. I hope that the author takes your words to heart and makes a few changes.

Thanks LivreAmour! Even without any changes, the book is a worthwhile read. It is inspiring to see a person take an honest look back at their life and learn from their experiences and people they have met along the way.

I found the review very interesting but like a few of the people stated it didn't really fit what I enjoy reading all the time.

LiteratureUtopia, I can certainly understand. :) Everyone has their own reading preferences.

Thanks for the objective review :) While it's not something I would be into 100%, it's always good to read these to keep my perspective on life as rounded as possible so I'll keep it in mind.
