Customer Reviews

A self-serving forum for Mandino's ego.
Five of us in a book club read this book as our selection for the month. We all agreed that this book is nothing but a forum used by Og Mandino for his self-aggrandizement and we would not have read it to the end if it weren't for our planned discussion of the book. This book reveals how materialistic Mandino is and how egotistic he is to use a figure like the ragpicker through whom he could brag to his readers about his awards and wealth. Unfortunately, there was no redeeming value in the book even when one stuck it out to the end. This is the only book I have ever tossed in the trash. It is a waste of time and money. There was no option to rate this book lower than 1 star.

Do you expect me to believe that this is the same ragpicker?
Who are you trying to kid, Og? I guess you made a lot of bucks with this one...I know you dug into my pocket. It seems like the bucks are your major interest in all your later books. This is the first book that I kept track (page by page) of how much is self-aggrandizement (55%) or simple filler (20%) or characters out of context (18%) or actually something worth reading (7%). Not recommended for anyone who doesn't have a fetish for finding minute needles lost deep in huge piles of straw.

Thought provoking, even with Og's ego streaming throughout.
I must admit, I was a bit put off by the self-applauding Mr. Og does in this book. However, I did enjoy the read. And I look forward to reading his other books....preferrably those written before the awards and celebrity-hood.
