To me, the book sounds quite inspirational and motivating reading material, but unfortunately, it doesn't appeal to my tastes in literature. I don't have so much free time and prefer using it relaxing over fictional stories, but no matter how exciting is overcoming difficulties true story it is hard to read knowing there is a real person standing behind it. Still, congrats on BOTD!
