I absolutely LOVED the book, and was actually sorry for it to end. It was not quite the same as the film, but much better because it went much more in depth into his life, rather than explore only a small piece as the movie did. There were pivotal events that occured that became significant factors in why/how he became successful, things that drove him to be persistant and tremendous odds that he overcame that were explained only in the book. It was written in a very personal way, which made me as the reader feel a certain level of endearment to Chris. Chris Gardner is a wonderful inspiration, and his story of determination, self-motivation, courage and strength is a true example of what can be accomplished by anyone if they really want better than the situation they were born into. I highly recommend it!Read full review
After I saw the film (by same title) I HAD to read the book. Found a paperback copy on eBay at a nice price and received it in few days. Fascinating read! A must for anyone who thinks they can't succeed in the United States of America. Recommended for any person struggling to "move on up" Drop the victim mentality, quit whining and read this book. It will fire you up and make you thankful that our nation is still the great "land of opportunity" regardless of your tragic background or current status. Determination, work, perseverance, integrity and love spill over the pages of Chris Gardner's true story. Maximum inspiration & better than fiction!
