- Latest Review: "Return to the Go-Go" by William Peskett
Equally engaging was his seemingly simple strategy for rescuing underwater home owners by buying their mortgages reconfiguring them at current market value, and then selling their houses back to them. The whole device seemed too altruistic to be profitable, but Newbery made money at the same time that he helped others.
My only reservations about the book are that it could have been more professionally written and polished. The reading became tedious at those points where the author waxed a little too sentimental and long winded about his emotional responses to tragedy and adversity. That said, the writing if not of high literary quality, was adequate for telling the story of a fine human being's creative life adventure.

Despite being non-fiction, I enjoyed reading it very much. It somehow still managed to be a page-turner.
From reading this I can tell Jorge is an inspiring person and thus the book itself is very inspiring.
I absolutely give this book a 4 out of 4.

I also appreciate the drive that Newberry seems to have had his entire life. It's inspiring how he did not give up really at any point in his life. Funny enough I was reading Achieve Your Dreams while reading Burn Zones and it's amazing how they related to each other so well!
There were a couple of parts that either went over my head or I wasn't interested in, so I became confused when trying to relay some of those parts to my husband. It might have been partly because I don't have much background knowledge in real estate, buying and selling property, etc. Aside from this, I really enjoyed it! Thank you Mr. Newberry for sharing your story!

I plan to purchase five copies of this title as soon as possible. Now is the beginning of 2016. This is a special book to be given away on my special friend's birthday!
