This author followed his dream and did what he loved most despite having been told that he would never be able to do just that.  This book is an enjoyable read.  It is written with humor and humility but, most importantly, it is the story of an interesting life.The author wanted to be a fighter pilot, jumped through the necessary hoops only to be told at the very end that there was not way that he could become what he wanted.  The come back story is compelling and a bit of a page turner.  You do not put this book down because you are secretly cheering for the authors success from the very beginning.The protagonist of this story is young, likable and intent on getting what he wants.  My son is reading the book now and enjoying it as well.  We need more books like this one with true modern day hardship and success stories.  Young people need to know that there will be obstacles on the way to where they are going and that many of these obstacles can be overcome if you have the right attitude and if you work hard.
