Review of Ambitions
Frank Baillargeon's novel Ambitions is a tale of hope. The author tells the tale of John Morrissey's parents, Tim and Judith Morrissey, two poor Irish immigrants. The family was having a very difficult time because they were working so hard to feed themselves. When John reached twelve, Judith suggested he start working so they could have more money. John followed the suggestion and started working because he had no interest in going to school. He spent his free time with his gang members on the streets while he wasn't at work. Due to his street fighting, he eventually realized how much he enjoyed it and decided to turn it into a career. Did he fulfill his goal of becoming a professional fighter? Learn more in this book.
I became interested as I read about John and how he worked tirelessly to achieve success. John's life is what I would call a journey of hope if I were to give it a name. This book was written beautifully by the author. I thoroughly enjoyed it. I admired John's ascent from the streets to the palace due to his dedication to being a successful professional fighter. I've learned from reading this book that your passion and drive for success are more important than your background. While you cannot change your place of birth, you may decide who or what you will become in the future. Despite his humble upbringing, John was tenacious and determined to succeed.
In this book, John is my favorite character. His bravery and zeal inspired me. Despite all the difficulties he encountered as a child, he never gave up, and on his path to stardom, he persevered despite taking several injuries during competitions. I was impressed by the author's inventiveness. Having a positive mindset when facing life's obstacles is another lesson I took away from this book. After reading this book, I was inspired to pursue my aspirations more.
I have nothing against this book. The reader will learn something from each chapter in this book. John's tale shows us that everything is possible if you work hard enough to get where you want to go. I must applaud the author for a job well done. I will not fail to thank the editor because there were no errors found in the book, which indicates that the book is excellently edited.
I rate this book five out of five stars because it taught me to focus on my goals and be resolute to pursue them. Everyone should read this book, but I strongly urge young people who are disheartened by life's many obstacles to do so. They will get a lot from the book in addition to enjoying it.
