Review by storyteller reads -- Underdog Thinking
Posted: 30 Jun 2020, 02:15
[Following is a volunteer review of "Underdog Thinking" by Atul Vir.]
Underdog thinking By Atul Vir is a real-life story about an Indian immigrant who, when he fails to find a job in America, creates his own opportunities, and explores entrepreneurship. He starts his own little business to support his family, which grows exceptionally in a short period. It is a story of a man who climbed his way to the top and his journey through betrayal and failure. It is the story of an entrepreneur as the ups and downs of business lead him to success.
The book is well written and professionally edited. It also contains mind maps and quotes in between chapters which, I found quite interesting. I give this book two out of Four Stars. The book started well with an intriguing storyline but dragged on until the climax. It was tiring to read pages on pages of words that had little context with the story. In some instances, the author mentions his political and social opinions, as I have mentioned, has no connection to the story or the plot. The book starts to get interesting again, around the middle of the book, when the actual climax starts. But that too is dragged on to several other chapters.
The only thing that I liked about the book was the beginning. It was inspiring and had good quotes for The Reader. I found it different from usual entrepreneurship or business books.
Anyone who is looking for good entrepreneurial books and not interested in the story might find it readable. But I must also add that these quotes grow bad as the book reaches the end. At the beginning of the book, each quote was either informative or at least related to the upcoming plot. But, in the last few chapters, these quotes have nothing to do with plot nor have anything to learn from them.
Anyone looking for a good, entrepreneurial story and only are interested in the story might not enjoy it as much. Because even though the book has a good struggle story, it loses focus as the story progresses. I do not recommend this book to them.
If the reader is interested in autobiographies, then you might enjoy reading the book more than I did. People of any readable age can read and probably understand it. I recommend underdog thinking to children who want to explore their business skills and want to learn something as they are not looking for anything significant from this book.
