    It's a great book with an interesting lead. It draws you in with the up and downs of life. It makes you consider your own life and how your personal fears hold you back. Get ready for a sleepless night as you will not be able to put it down.

  • Book condition horrible

    The book content is excellent -well written. However, the condition of the paperback is terrible, with yellowed pages and battered cover that tear easily. I guess people will submit any piece of garbage if a few $ can be made. I would apologize if I even gave to somebody in that condition!!
