Thank you! Great review! It doesn't sound like a book I would normally pick up to read but after reading your review if I needed some inspiration I would!!

Thank you very much for your review. It complemented the idea I got from reading the sample pages. I agree with you on the idea of inspiring others with this autobiography, because we all seem to understand life better through the stories and lessons from others.

Thanks again!

I'm going to admit I waited several days to actually review this,
The only flaw, after days of thinking, that I could come up with is that the real estate sections can get dry at times, and go way over my head as Jorge details methods of reinvestment and mortgaging, but as a whole the book is amazing
CataclysmicKnight offers a great review, one done after a period of reflection rather than a hurried effort to get through the book. The review is an accurate mirror image of the writing voice found in the book sample. Downloading this book is a good use of a KU subscription. After reading it once, a reader might want to buy a copy rather than return the one borrowed.

I read the opening section of the book and I found that it was everything the review said it was. It is clearly a story of a young man "picking himself up by his bootstraps." The way he combined smart business moves with solid, hard work makes this an excellent, inspirational tale. The review brings this out and made me really want to read the rest. Good job.

Thanks for the great review. Many successful business-minded people have experienced the ups and downs in the business world. They fall seven times but get back up eight because they learn from their mistakes. The review encouraged me to finish reading the book. Congratulations to the author for BOTD.

Everyone has a turning point in their lives somewhere. You can be up this morning and down this afternoon. Sometimes we take to many chances and come on on the bottom. I liked the review. It let's us know that life is like a boomer rang. When you least expect it. It will come back and hit you in the face. We should be wise and careful how we invest our money. We hit rock bottom in a second.

Awesome review! Thank you! I love the title of this book. We all have gone through a burn zone of our own before, so it sounds like a book that we can all relate to in one way or another. Also, I read on Facebook that this was a previous BOTM....if that is true, then this is a must-read for me!! Congrats to the author!

I enjoy your comments about trying to find something you can criticize about the book. I thought it was going to be all sports-y, but your review shows me that it is much more involved and varied than just that. Thanks!

Thanks for the great review. It looks like a good, inspirational memoir. A modest and inspirational autobiography is always well appreciated.
