Reviews

[Helen (they or he) · Rating 5 out of 5]

This is paraphrased but when he wrote "Main ma shar (gay, effeminate men) had to start their lives with a minus sign where as most of you guys start with a zero" and then continued it with how we can all find courage in life, I nearly teared up. Through this book, you can see his love for teenagers and how much he wants the new generation to become better.

This book so good to read

[Mike Han · Rating 4 out of 5]

Great inspirational self-help book delivered in grandfatherly fashion, a style that strikes well with the author, targeted for the teens. Author's use of many anecdotes, stories and historical speeches will invoke a tune that will sink into a teenager's mind. Recommended reading for all teens and one that I will definitely read to my children.
