Official Review: Ready, Fire, Aim! An Immigrant's Tales o...

[Subnavigation54]

I like to read about immigrant experiences. Just recently I read "London for immigrant suckers" and enjoyed it (recommendation from this site), so hopefully, this one will be as good - but if judging by your wonderful review, I'm sure it will be.

It's always a delight to read about people rising from the ashes. Whoever we are, wherever we are, we can too.

Hi, Ritah! The author's middle name is spelled wrong. It should be Oughta. Whatever he dreams of, he oughta do it.

I have read many books that are similar to this, always looking for the thing that I am missing in my life to make it a success. This one sounds most intriguing, and from all that the author accomplished, I'd love to find out if this one has the missing piece for me. Thanks for the great review.

Please tell me how it goes if you do read this, Emie Cuevas! Success is relative, they say. If you are successful, you have many relatives.

Thanks for visiting! Am I right to assume we are both Pinay?[/quote]

Yes I am Pinay. I'm doing book reviews to make some money, how about you? So I haven't had time yet to read the ones I want to read for myself. This is still an my list.

"Importance of the title “Doctor,” the desirability of tenure, and other intellectual stuff". The world is a world of competition. Congrats kabayan.

I know the above is familiar territory to you, Madame Teacher! Good luck on getting your doctorate!

Thank you for the review! He clearly had an inspiring life. Your review was detailed and passionate - a pleasure to read!

[Manang Muyang]

Thanks, Reuben 92 for reading and commenting. I wish my life were half as inspiring.

You highlighted so many positives that this book has! It is evident that you truly enjoyed it. I must make time to read this book! Thank you for the insightful, well written review Miriam.

[Manang Muyang]

Hi there, Kelebogile Mbangi! We've missed you!

The author's life is really awe-inspiring. You wouldn't think so many things (both good and bad) can happen to just one person.

Welcome back!

[Pinkilicious]

Good job Miriam. Awesome Review!!!

[Manang Muyang]

Hi, Pinkilicious! Thanks for dropping by.

Now, this is an inspiring review. Very detailed and entertaining. I'm usually not a fan of sports (in any shape or form), but I do remember watching a movie in the similar vein and quite enjoying it, so, who knows, I might enjoy this book as well.

[Manang Muyang]

Kislany, I bet you'll find this book a pleasant surprise. Thanks for sharing your thoughts.

BTW, is that a cat you're stroking?

I've always thought owning a business could be fun, but never mustered the effort to actually try it. The modern-day renaissance man author probably has a better head for business, so maybe I'll just give this a read and live vicariously through him. Thanks for the review!
