Ty for this very interesting review. I found the sample pages to be intriguing and not sure I want to read the rest of the book. But you did a great job.

This motivational book highlights themes of racism, adversity, and the power of faith in achieving your dreams. The author lived through times when it was exceptionally hard to be a black man, and he shows in how he persevered to achieve his dreams even in the face of adversity. Thanks for the great review!

Latest Review: How To Be Successful by M. Curtis McCoy

Post by RICHARDS1234 »

I give a distinction to the author of this book, this is because racism has been and is still the major cause of failure, no development, little success and other related forms of distress among humans living in "mixed societies"
Despite the efforts by institutions to abolish racial discrimination, the World is still facing what the Africans described as "Apartheid" during the colonial era.
I therefore like to read this novel in order to discover more than the review contents.

I know racism is a problem, but when a black person fails, the first thing shouldn't be because of racism. If we want equality everywhere, then people should be ready to be measured by the same standard. This might also be challenging because not all continents are equal. Therefore, this is a broad subject.

Anybody who has gone throught the racial discrimination can relate to it. I loved the review because that shows that the world has started to change and has moved on from those practices. Thank you for a well described review.

At a time were the only reaction to any mistake or action done by black man is to result to racism, I think reading this book would go a long way in educating both parties on how to act and rise above this issues. Good review.
