The protagonist, Cyrus, faces incredible obstacles in this book, but his unwavering resolve and grit are truly admirable. His unrelenting pursuit of success is a powerful inspiration, and I'm excited to read his story. The author did a wonderful job of creating a compelling narrative about Cyrus's extraordinary journey, which serves to illustrate the human spirit's capacity for overcoming adversity.

This sounds like an amazing story of perseverance, I look forward to reading it! Thank you for explaining the intricacy and purposefulness of the lengthy descriptions, that certainly can be an initial turnoff, but expecting them helps.

A dream without any action it will just remain a dream.I love how the author turned his dreams into reality, moreover shared what he has learnt with his people thus showing how selfless he is.

The author's ambition to be as successful as his brother has caught my attention. imagine all the stress and pressure he had. Like, he was always comparing his life with his brother's. I hope he has fulfilled his American dream. Thank you for your informative review.

Cyrus A. Ansary, the author of this book, narrated his journey of fulfilling his ambition of becoming a citizen of the US, and his tale of struggles and courage seems worth reading this book.

The book transmits moving moments as well as humorous ones, managing to convey the complexity and humanity of his experience. His journey toward American citizenship, fueled by his American dream, becomes a narrative full of challenges and triumphs, one that resonates deeply with the reader. Furthermore, he invites others to join this inspiring journey, suggesting that his story is not only relevant, but also deeply motivating. It is an interpretation that reflects the emotional richness of memories and the value of following one's dreams despite difficulties.

The author's story is one that's full of hope and determined that serves as a motivating force for others who were in the same predicament as him. Memoirs are always enjoyable because you get to see both the ups and downs of someone's journey as they go through life. Congrats to the author for having the BOTD.

Thank you for your informational review. Though I'm not a young person, I would like to read this book. He is about my mom's age and I know things were tough back then. I hope he succeeded in finding happiness and success for himself on his goals, not his brother's. His father also sounds like a remarkable man. I'm curious to know how it all turns out, so I've added it to my list of books to read.

There is a very thin line between admiration and envy, and I'm glad that the protagonist looked up to his brother. With his determination and passion to succeed, he has the potential to surpass his brother's achievements. This is an inspiring story and an excellent recommendation.
