My Thoughts: 5 Stars for this touching tale of perseverance. Unlike most auto-biographies of famous people I’ve read, 17 Cents and A Dream was down to earth and simple. I felt like Daniel understood the average person. He doesn’t come off as an arrogant rich guy. Rather he has shared his story of rags to riches in a very humbling way. His story could be one of many immigrants fleeing persecution to live the American Dream.
Despite the challenges Daniel was faced with in life, he pushed to be better. A better man, a better son and grandson, a better student, brother, employee and father. Daniel doesn’t look at his past and gloat that he succeeded. He looks at his past in reflection, ready to learn and continue to push forward. I found this a very refreshing read from a successful, yet humble man. If more of the world could have his attitude I think this world would be a much better place.
*I was provided with a copy of this book for review. All thoughts are my own 100% honest opinion.
This boy has worked hard to get into Bollywood. Vicky kaushal plays his role in the film accurately. He takes acting seriously. This biography important for the read.
