This review is from: Gifted Hands (Hardcover)
The supplier said this book was in good condition. While it's far from falling apart,I would rate it as "average". The dust cover has definitely seen better days and when I'm reading it, I feel like I'm most certainly reading a used book and want to wash my hands every few minutes! Great, inspiring story, but not very impressed with the condition of the book.

Good.,
By A .J. Casper (USA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Gifted Hand: The Ben Carson Story (Paperback)
It's a very good book to read, particularly for the younger generation who are still on their way to realizing their goals in life, in terms of profession. My only problem with it was that ever since Ben got his reading glasses, every single little thing went well for him. The path was butter-smooth for him ever since, except for one or two incidents or issues. Maybe that's the way it really was for him, but it made it difficult for me to be able to relate to it. It's probably because our lives are so contrasting...luck does not come easy for me, although I do work hard. Other than that, I found it a quick enjoyable read. I wish Carson the best of luck too. He's a good guy!
