There are two things that I enjoyed most about this book. First, it does not give lazy people any room to blame their lack of work ethic on being a 'Later Bloomer'. The author states early on and very clearly that a 'Later Bloomer" does have drive. Almost too much. They have difficulty focusing on one thing because there is so much to learn about everything. They are continually learning and researching throughout their lives and then when an opportunity presents itself, they are ready. Great morale.The second thing that I like about this book is the fact that everything is backed up with well defined research. She does not go into depth on any one subject. Instead, the author presents all of her source documents at the end of the book. The reader can make the choice to follow up or not. (I'm reading Benjamin Franklin's autobiography.)All in all, a fun read. Very light. Not a lot of concentration needed. I think this would be a great starting point for high school students that have to write about a historical or inspiring person.
