    Awesome book!!

    I love this book. It is the most inspirational book I have ever read. Perhaps it is because I can somewhat relate to his story. It is just amazing how someone can have and hold on to a dream for so long. How a person can go through hell and back and finally achieve his dream. This man does not know what it is to quit and that to me is so inspirational/valuable!! I read this book about 4 months ago, but writing about it makes me want to pick it up again.
