We need more people like Jorge, who are not afraid of risks and responsibility. We need books like this too which is about entrepreneurship through a personal story.

Neat review right there, glad you enjoyed the book, so much so that it was hard to pick out a flaw. I'm not really one for memoirs or biographies, but I do pick 'em up once in a while. Will probably check this one out before deciding.

What an inspirational book! It is true that in most cases challenges and suffering always became part of our life before we succeed in this life. Thank you for this review.

Burn zone is one interesting book, thumbs up to the author for taking us through the handles of life, just like cycling andburning calories through the work out so is our day to day struggle in life always striving to get ahead and on top of our lives and dreams. I admire the Jorge who never had limits to achieve everything he did...its a great mortivation to give our children and even exercise it in our own lives.

Good review. Sometimes I enjoy inspirational reads, but they can be a tad boring. The fact that he housed punk rock bands makes me feel like this book is pretty eventful though. :D

This is an interesting read. A boy at age 10 manages to become a delivery boy until he becomes a millionaire. His determination in life helped him succeed. Congrats on this great review.

With this review, I can claim to have actually read the book, this review is so well written, the character of Jorge is not overly coloured making him sound like a perpetual victim even if he did experience some pretty bad things. His life is portrayed as a true inspiration and worthy of emulation. The book was rated 4, and with this well-composed review, I think it deserves it.
Now, let me go get this book for myself.
