The Luckiest Unlucky Man by Zoltan Zavorsky is a non-fiction novel that expresses the life of the author, his experiences, and the stories he was told by his grandparent. The book was written to provide some funny and educational anecdotes about what he experienced, observed, and about his forefathers and mothers. The book has 32 chapters and 109 pages.

The author believes that life is a wheel that has luck on one side and misfortune on the other. The wheel is constantly rotating which means there are times when someone will be lucky and there are times when someone will be unfortunate. He also believes that humans are in eternal limbo between good and bad happenings. During his past decades, he experienced more than his fair share of unlucky occurrences. This qualifies him to be called an unlucky man. Somehow, things always turned out well for him in the end. This is because he has a fortunate innate ability to learn from these encounters. Therefore, this makes him also the luckiest man. This book was written to share his unlucky and lucky experiences.

I enjoyed the chapter on "the dawn of an athlete". The author carefully narrated his experience which was informative and hilarious. The scene was beautifully described in a way that I felt like I was there when it happened. I could picture the author in his Tarzan costume and also been humiliated at the end of the race. This is an awkward experience that almost everyone would have encountered during their childhood. I also enjoyed reading the chapter on "bad mistakes in judgment; one of which involves a straight razor". The author once again used his experience to explain that readers should beware of prizes that appear to be exceptional bargains because they will get what they pay for. He also used this chapter to prove a point that people should not judge a book by its cover.

The author used words that are simple and easy to understand in writing this book. He sometimes leaves the readers hanging as he let them use their imaginations to make up the moral lesson of some of the stories. This will make the reader feel a part of the book. All these made me enjoy the book.

I hate nothing in this book, and it was perfectly delivered by the author. I found no grammatical error in this book except some punctuation issues which may be a result of the author’s writing style. This book was professionally edited, and it was a light and short read. Therefore, I rate this book 4 out of 4 stars. I will be recommending this novel to lovers of an interesting memoir.

What an interesting premise! I'd love to read about good and bad luck. I think luck is a mystical force that can be harnessed.
