Book Reviews of Character Is Destiny: Inspiring Stories Every Young Person Should Know and Every Adult Should Remember

Book Review: Excellent Book On Character
Summary: 4 Stars

John McCain's book is well written and provides individualized examples of people who exemplify the important characteristics he's written about including: honesty(Thomas More),loyalty (Sir Ernest Shackleton)- who also could have easily been chosen as a model of leadership also,citizenship(Pat Tillman),cooperation(John Wooden),generosity(Osceola McCarty) - a truly inspiring story, and many others. This is a great book for anyone, particularly for younger people who are forming their characters. It would also make an excellent gift book. I've given it to a few people already.

This is not a political book. It's simply a super compendium of character. It's for anyone. It is disturbing to note some of the "argumentum ad hominem" directed against McCain in the review comments, which may be suitable to a political forum, but seem inappropriate in this one. It would be a shame for that to keep someone from buying this very worthwhile book. McCain probably won't get my vote for President, but he surely has it for this book.
