Odyssey of High Hopes by Cyrus A. Ansary is an inspiring account of ambition and perseverance. The author takes readers on a journey through personal and historical milestones, with vivid storytelling and reflections on success. I appreciated the depth of insight and how easily the narrative flowed.
However, I found some sections a bit too detailed, which might slow down some readers. The grammar and formatting were excellent, with no noticeable errors.
I give this book 4 out of 4 stars, and I recommend it to readers who enjoy memoirs and stories about personal growth and history.

Definitely not my cup of tea, because life is hard for everyone in their own way and there is nothing new to someone else struggle to fit in and find some peace and content. Sorry, but I prefer to skip the book and, anyway, congratulations with BOTD!

The assessment is impressive. I am excited to know that the author was detailed enough while writing about his life in Iran and his aspiration of immigrating to America, all without sounding boring. I hope to learn a couple of things from the author's remarkable qualities. And, I am happy the book was exceptionally well edited.
