Reading this book as a teenager was interesting, but I had never been through any real hardships. Twenty years later when I was at the lowest point in my life I rediscovered it on my bookshelf along with other high school literature books...Reading it again made me feel both fortunate and sure that I could overcome my own "little" problems. I am ordering another copy 30-years later so I can give it to a friend of mine who has yet to believe he can change his own life. God Bless Joseph Sorrentino.
Great Book

I was so inspired by this book and a 1973 speech by Judge Sorrentino that I decided to go to law school myself. It is an incredible, but true, tale of how a young thug can develop into a respected jurist.
ONE OF THE MOST ENCOURAGING BOOKS I'VE READ! SUPER!

JOSEPH SORRENTINO DID A GREAT JOB RELATING HIS LIFE'S STORY. I WAS SO IMPRESSED WITH HIS HONESTY AND HIS ACCOMPLISHMENTS. HE TRULY TURNED HIS LIFE AROUND FROM CERTAIN DOOM. IF HE CAN MAKE ANYTHING OUT OF HIS LIFE ANYONE CAN. HE HAD NO WHERE TO GO BUT UP. EVERY TEENAGER SHOULD READ THIS BOOK
