As I was reading the sample and the review, I thought it is similar to the life story, in essence, of so many boxers and in particular one very popular boxer. It surely must have been inspiring. With every chapter, there is a lesson to be learned. Wow! How many chapters? How many lessons? And yes, how many stories and how many dramas? What a vivid imagination and deep wisdom from the author!

Thanks for the review. A little remark, though - For people who know nothing about the Morrissey, it would have been nice to add some more background. From reading the book's introduction, I learned that the author's father dedicated a lot of time to research Morrissey's life.

The story sounds interesting and will appeal to most people. Some are born into it (life already has what we need to succeed or live a good life), while most have to actually struggle to make it. This story has come to encourage readers that they can be successful; they just have to follow their hearts and instincts. John sounds like a fun character, and the author did a fantastic job passing the message through him. I hope to read this one soon.

This is a story of how John, who comes from a low family, started working at twelve years old and used his free time to engage in street fighting before turning it into his main career work. This is an inspirational book for anyone pursuing a certain goal. It teaches us always to have a positive mindset when pursuing our goals. Thanks for the great review.

From the streets to the palace. I like this tale of resilience and determination. Indeed, a person's background does not determine the person's destiny.
