The story is real good example of hope, learning and implement, how to achieve success make dreams come true.

Now my Positive viewpoints:

The concept and climax is good, on each and every page it will teach you a lesson. The struggle and achievement of Sam is something very inspiring and narrated well. Indeed the story will shake up your emotions to understand the story of Sam and his life.

Some suggestive points:

Overall the book is really good and very well expressed; I would like to suggest that a little stringent editing was required as there are some typing errors in the book. The only drawback of the book is the description of happenings in college life. Which makes the first half is no different from many other stories in present times and reader tend to lose interest.

Final words:

Overall if asked I would say...this is a good job done by Author… (Richard Son) I would give 3 stars to this book.
