How I Manifested a Successful Reality by Coach B Royalte is a compelling autobiography of the years the author spent involved with gangs and drugs in Chicago, and how he forced himself out of that world and into one of success.
The story takes place over about a decade of the author’s life and begins where he first joins one of the local gangs and starts to deal drugs, to support his family and young daughter. Evading law enforcement and working through the politics of street gangs, the author creates success from this life. However, he inevitably gets caught and spends time in and out of prison and gets mixed up with shady crowds. Through his story, we learn how he eventually understands that he has to strive to do something more with his life and get out of the world of crime.
This book was written in such an easy way to follow and understand. Often, I found myself feeling like the author was sitting beside me and telling his story. His words get straight to the point and this has resulted in the book being on the shorter side, but also the perfect length for this kind of story. One could easily pick this book up and read it in one sitting – which I love.
The author’s story is not an easy one, and through all his hardships, one feels motivated when reading this book. If he could manage to find a way out of that world, and still become successful, then anyone can. I would highly recommend this book to anyone involved with or who knows someone involved with crime and gangs. Besides them, this book would be enjoyable for anyone who likes reading short biographies and gaining perspective into other people’s lives.
I found some spelling mistakes in the book, where it seems that letters are missing from words. I’m unsure whether this is a mistake on the author’s part or an error with the format of the book. Besides this, the grammar in the book was good and I only found one or two small mistakes.
As I really enjoyed this story and found it highly motivating, I am rating it 3 out of 4 stars. Unfortunately, I cannot give it a higher rating due to the mistakes I found, but if these were corrected then this book would definitely earn a higher rating as there was no part of this book that I did not enjoy.
