The best book I have read this year. I was so glued to this book. Once you start, you simply cannot toss it away. You will learn, you will laugh and you will be inspired. I needed this book at this point in my life where I felt like giving up on my dreams. Beautiful writing. I felt like I was in the court room on the issue with Onitsuka; When Nissho paid their debt to the Bank of California- the reactions, the surprises etc.. My favourite quote from the book: Hard work is critical, a good team is essential, brains and determination are invaluable but luck may determine the outcome.
