This interesting rites-of-passage book is a (slightly) 'rambling' one, as it's autobiographical in nature, rather than coming across as a business presentation. The author leads the reader in a literate and well-expounded inspirational journey, from his younger tomboyish phase of general mischief, (including petty thievery [shoplifting]) and on into the realising what Life's all about/'road to Damascus'-type revelations, that only hard work and application will get him where he wants to be - a 'proper' grown-up.
Thus with inspiration and good example from mentors such as the eponymous Margaret, he attains the [previously unknown in his local area], Nirvana of College and from there, there is no stopping our hero.
His seemingly unattainable goals and dreams are gradually realised and the author is scrupulous in complimenting and thanking them individually, making it clear what part each played on his road to success as a wealthy entrepreneur. He is also happy to pass on his wealth of knowledge and life-experience to those acolytes seeking to follow in his footsteps.
I enjoyed this book as it was not written in the manner of 'holier-than-thou' preaching or critical and patronising to those who have yet to 'make it', but in an engaging and down-to-earth, realistic way that showed he appreciates he couldn't have done it alone!
