Thanks for a great review. I don't often read memoirs. The next time I do though, I will keep this one in mind.

It is a good one! Thank you for reading my review. I truly appreciate your kind comments.

It is super short, so I think even those who don't like a memoir, he sticks to the point, and I found myself at the end in a blink of an eye! Thank you for looking into it, and I appreciate your kind comments. :)

I really don't read memoirs but your review has piqued my interest. We all go through life-altering events, some bad and some good. I am glad the author took the bad and created something good. We all get caught up in the bad at times. What we take from the situation and how we use it, is the important part. Thank you for the insightful review.

A memoir detailing the author's transformation from janitor to millionaire sounds inspiring. It is impressive that he manages to overcome his tough beginning. Too bad the book just focuses on the author's childhood and doesn't explain how he did it… That it was well edited is to the author's credit. Not for me, but I am glad you enjoyed it. Thank you for the review!

I love memoirs, especially one that is rags to riches. This book seems like a good book for anybody to read, but more so if they are down on their luck. Good review!

Sounds like an interesting rags to riches story with a unique take on personal feelings of inadequacy and depression. Excellent review as always.
