Thanks for the convincing review. Now it makes me all the more want to read the book, especially since this book in particular doesn't only focus on sharing a life story but also life lessons. I also like the fact that you mentioned that the author doesn't soften the blows of the hardships he faced nor does he complain about it in the book.

I could use some inspiration because I am going through a transition in my life right now. It''s great to know that there are people out there that are making the most of their lives with hard work and determination. Also, when times get tough they don't give up.

Great review! I love books that tell accounts of self-made people. Inspiring to hear their success stories.

Thanks for the review. I find it remarkable that someone could take a "burn zone" and benefit from it. I myself would not be able to do that. I can agree with you that the real estate parts would get boring to me and I would not like to read about that part because I would find it boring. I guess overall that even though you gave it a 4 star, I still wouldn't be interested in reading.

Great review! The sample is wonderful, I love how Jorge is a self-described 'shy loner' but overcomes that when it comes to business. Seems like a simple but oh-so-interesting read!

Thanks for the great review. I read the sample and then won the book. After I read your review, I was hooked. Glad to hear that it continues in the same uplifting way. Thanks again!

It sounds like a real "American Dream" story for sure. Parts of it sound interesting to me even though I am pretty picky about autobiographies.

Thanks for the thorough review. Even I felt this book as inspiring one. Young adults with aspirations must read this one. The sample part made me clear that the writing style and the language suits well to the story line. I was awestruck to know the achievements of this boy since his childhood years. Such biographies are rare, truly inspiring for youngsters.

An autobiography about the ups and downs( financial highs and lows) of Jorge, a former real estate mogul. There are obviously a lot of lessons to learn from this man's life's story. The reviewer's enthusiasm is glaring. Thanks for the review.
