Book Reviews of Life Is So Good: One Man's Extraordinary Journey through the 20th Century and How he Learned to Read at Age 98
Book Review: "It's not my fault I'm 101!"
Summary: 5 Stars
WOW!! what a book.I was not awfully surprised that this book was so good.I read about half of the Customer Reviews before I started the book.From those reviews ,I was expecting the best;and that is exactly what it was.No doubt I found it to be one of the most enlightning and inspirational books I've ever read.This is not just a book about rememberences of a person who happened to live and continue to learn during a lifetime of 103 years.This is a great book of wisdom and love by one who possessed an uncanny ability to deal with life.He didn't develop this ability because of his long life;he already had it when he watched his friend Pete being hung as well as having to leave his family and go to work at 10 years of age.I strongly recommend this to everyone;and also to read all the super reviews.As well you should check the several web sites under George Dawson;good things there plus some good photos.
And yes, I went back and read all the reviews after finishing the book.I very seldom read a book a second time;but I plan to read this one again.This man,George Dawson,was truly a gifted person.
