The story of John is an inspirational one. Despite coming from a unique background he was determined to become a professional fighter.
I am encouraged. I must read this book to find out how the story of John finally ended.

Ambition seems like an interesting book. It gives the readers hope. Hope that despite their different backgrounds, they can still leave to achieve their dreams. Through John, the author inspires the readers not to give up in life. Congratulations to the author on the BOTD selection.

I'm a huge boxing fan, so I have watched many documentaries about professional boxers who turned their passion for fighting into a career. I cannot wait to read John's life story and watch him climb up the ladder of success. Congrats to the author for having the BOTD.

With grit and sheer determination, John was able to carve out a living to help his family make ends meet. Ultimately, he became a success story. It's not where you are from; it's where you end up. Thank you for your review.

While this sounds like it might be interesting to a lot of readers, I don't believe John's story would be all that enjoyable for me. Well done on a really great review!

Sounds like an interesting tale about John and his parents, Tim and Judith, with an interesting lesson of resilience and determination to peruse ones goal in life. I might check the book out to find out whether John made something out of his fighting career. Congratulation on being the BOTD.
