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.
