Could not put it down, July 8 2005

Fascinating. Started with chapter one and could not put it down. I only wish I could know more about this man's life. I'm going to give it out to the young men I work with in my church. A marvelous and uplifting story.

The editorial book review pretty much says it all, Jun 30 2005

At just over 100 pages, you can simply read the editorial and you're pretty much reading the book. I appreciate Mario taking the time to tell his story and he has a distinctive writing style (complete with bad grammar but hey, he says himself he is poorly educated). He needs to choose a different printing company next time though, the proofreader for this one was obviously on vacation or asleep. All in all, what I recommend as I said is read the editorial comments and then get the book from your local library and skip ahead to chapters 19 and 20, they are definately worth reading, especially 19.

What Fun!, Aug 22 2007

This is the kind of book that is not, and does not need to be a literary masterpiece. It does not claim to be one either. It's one man's story, simply told, and it's one that should be told. What an amazing transformation and an amazing story. I thoroughly enjoyed this little book and it has been the kind that I think back on often and recommend to people, not for its flowery eloquence, but for its being one of those tales that is worth telling; Honest and simple in it's telling, but uniquely complex in it's content. Loved it. The more I think about it, I would like to change my rating to five stars but I can't figure out how. I origanally gave it four for literary reason's but I actually feel that the content outweighs that. Rock on Mario.
