Overall rating and opinion of Mark Victor Hansen, Relentless by Mitzi Perdue

[Leslie Kunde]

I loved reading about the man behind the Chicken Soup books. For years My family and friends have read and discussed these books, never giving a thought to the person behind them. Thanks for a great book.

[Cheryl Erickson]

I have started reading this biography and am enjoying it very much. I think the cover is great because his big smile represents his optimism. The writing style flows nicely. favorite thing about the book is Hansen's perseverance. One thing that I learned is to inspire others to make a difference in our world. I have read Mark Victor Hansen's books since I was a teenager. I am also reading Chicken Soup For the Christian Family Soul. I love learning about Hansen's life and the man behind such inspirational books. I would recommend it to people who enjoy biographies about inspirational role models.

[Patty Allread]

What I like most about this book is that it is a biography with a self-help aspect. I think author Perdue did a fantastic job building this feature into her story.

I have started reading this book, and so far I am enjoying it. I had no previous knowledge of Mark Victor Hansen or his book, so I love that Mitzi Perdue took the time to introduce him. I cannot wait to finish this book and learn more about him, and his work and get inspired.

I just started reading the book, and so far I can say that the author expertly writes this biography of Mark Victor Hanson. What I have liked the most so far is his ability to inspire hope through his writing and how he shows the significance of perseverance through the subject's life. Another significant lesson revolves around how to turn failures into successes through a strong work ethic and a relentless spirit. It is a five out of five for me so far.

I enjoyed reading this. I walked away respecting Mark at the beginning of his career -- how he worked hard and earned his bike and success. But, the more success he gained, the more I got the impression he is entitled. Perdue mentioned that he spends a lot of time in court with people. Her mention of his estranged relationship with his ex-wife and daughter really made me question a lot about what happened there. It was insightful.

I like the book. It provides insights into the life of the successful Mark Victor Hansen. Mitzi Perdue was able to capture and give lessons from Hansen's experiences.
I will recommend it to people who are trying to figure out their life and how to go about it. This book will not only state the importance of having a goal, it will help readers identify and develop goals for themselves.

[Andrea Peles]

Although, I haven't heard about Mark Victor Hansen before and his book Chicken Soup for the Soul, I decided to purchase the book Relentless by Mitzi Perdue. By now I really enjoy reading the book and absorbing knowledge about Mark's life. Furthermore, I find his life really fascinating from an early age, on how he managed to both work and save money to pursue his goal. Also, I like how the book is structured and that at the end of every chapter the author is summarizing what readers can learn from Mark's life experiences. I would recommend this book to anybody who wants to live an aware and meaningful life.

[Christell Lindeque]

I found this book inspirational, and it was a fast read. I thoroughly enjoyed this book, and reading about Mark's journey was a highlight. I especially enjoyed the part of the book about his book that hit a world record in the number of sales it received.

[OTrain Disene]

The cover is what I loved and drew me first. The knowledge that the author shared was very appreciated. The style of writing, although it wasn't my type of style, I understood the role it played on such a book. It was calm, with soft tone that accommodated everything concisely. The book balanced the bad and a good about an individual which most books fail short on. Full five stars from my side.

[Vivian Writes]

The cover was a picture of Mark Perdue smiling and looking optimistic. I thought the book cover fir the message of the book and was uplifting. The author’s writing style was also commendable.

[Olga Markova]

I have just finished reading this book, and I thoroughly enjoyed it. My favourite part is about Mark's childhood with all antics and ingenuity he and his brothers were capable of. I also liked the words of self-help wisdom and the examples of Mark's failures and successes. Least of all I probably liked the list of a hundred traits of a perfect person to marry - a modest part of the Mark's list of 267 (!?). And the choice of the favourite restaurant to deliver the breakup message to Patty over chocolate mousse. But thinking philosophically, these eccentricities look like parts and parcels of Mark's effervescent personality unrestrainable to conventional boundaries. All in all, the book is very thought-provoking and useful, and I gladly rate it 5 out of 5 stars.

[Brian Ruguru]

First, I'd love to acknowledge the writing style because it was heart-felt. I could feel the words as though I was the one under discussion. In addition, I hardly encountered complexities with the meanings.

[Brian Ruguru]

What I liked the most was the failures Mark endured. I mean, even the previous series, Chicken Soup for the Soul, had to endure numerous rejections by publishers. Indeed, he is relentless!
