Burn Zones isn't a book for bikers, but the analogy to a pedaler's challenges is spot-on. A go-getter from age seven, Jorge is one hell of a rider in the race called Life! I was mesmerized by his extraordinary nerve and confidence. He will teach the reader many good lessons. Let's all burn with his passion and set the world on fire!

I didn’t expect to be drawn into the book sample because it’s not my typical genre. However, the writing was conversational and quickly had me forgetting that I like fiction more than non-fiction. It was as if the author was in my room and bragging about his accomplishments.

His explanation of burn zones and how it applies to more than just races was interesting. The business savvy he had at age 7 was impressive and the rest of the sample just reinforced how strong willed he was.
It was an interesting beginning and I can’t wait to read the rest.

This book is truly motivational. How a newspaper turned himself into a business mogul is always an enjoyable read. I especially liked the part of the book when Jorge embraced the punk movement. Entertaining.

Thanks for your stellar review! This was such an easy read, albeit only the sample, the narrative flowed effortlessly whilst captivating the reader completely. Usually autobiographies are tough to read but Jorge P. Newbery combines his many talents to produce a work of art. I found the description of 'burn zones' enlightening and enjoyed seeing how the author applied this metaphor to his challenges in life.

The great information in the review was better than the sample I read. The story of the self build riches is truly inspiring. The title alone is catching, let alone the authors way of thinking of life is a great lesson to people to thrive through adversity is easily there for all to read. Great review and makes me want to read the book even more than the sample pages. The Burn Zone by Jorge P. Newbery is on my list of just reads.

I really enjoyed the review, the story revolves around how a newspaper delivery boy turned into a successful entrepreneur through hard work and helping people.
The book is highly motivating.

Everyone perspective is different,that's what I always believe in but there is always a chance to share ones opinion so well,I totally agree to the review about being inspirational but I don't think it can be a fairlytale kinda content can make a sport a interesting thing.

Burn zones
It a good sample that which was relatively short periods of extraordinary effort that separated the winners and losers. He was around ten years old. Jorge P newbery is a good writer.focus on enduring the pain until the pace slows.Burn zones include long climb.
