I like how the author picked the title and applies this sport term to different challenges in life. The reviewer’s enthusiasm certainly inspires my curiosity.

Despite the dry real estate speak, this sounds like an interesting and inspiring autobiography. It’s not something I would usually read, but thanks for the great review!

I'm not really into autobiographies but this one is very inspirational, especially to everyone of us who struggles to find the strength in trying to reach their dreams. It would have been nice though, if you have mentioned the writing style of the author, it might help readers to be more interested. Thanks for your review!

What a fantastic motivational autobiography. The free sample was extremely interesting and inspiring. Life has plenty of “burn zones” and I can see how this book would benefit anyone going through a tough time. Great review!

Fascinating! I though this book was about burning up calories and how to exercise, but this book is clearly something else. I love to know how he faced challenges and how he won against it. The author is very thoughtful in presenting his experiences in form of an autobiography. Thank you for your descriptive review!

Reading a book about who has a humble beginning to gradually become successful is inspiring! This book is a must read. :techie-studyinggray:

Good review. Sounds like this book has something for almost everyone, sports, music, money, riots. How could he go wrong?

Thanks for writing such a great review. I like autobiography especially where the author has an ordinary beginning.
Those kind of biography encourage you to get up and to never admit defeat in life.

Thank you for your review. I wasn't sure this book was for me even after reading the sample which made me feel like it would be a good read. But your review convinced me. And thank you for being honest about the dry parts in the book. I know it was hard for you to come up with something but I think you probably nailed it.

I enjoy an autobiography with a surprise and the punk roots are definitely just that! Seems like a very good book.

Nice review@CataclysmicKnight, the Story line of the book (Burn Zones) makes perfect sense and inspires.

I've always loved books that shows someone's journey from being at a low place to rising on top. I could always use some inspiration so I'll give this one a chance.
