I definitely wanted to check this book out after watching “Walk The Line”.  I’ve always been a fan of Johnny’s music, but the movie skims over a lot of the details of his life and his inner workings.  I hoped this book would be more descriptive, and it definitely delivered.I had no idea he had been a morse code operator in the Air Force in Germany.  He was able to climb from humble beginnings as a poor boy in the South, to a huge superstar music career, even sitting down with President Nixon to discuss prison reform.  He parlayed that into an acting career in TV and movies.  He even survived heart surgery in the 90s.His story is an inspirational one of a man rising to superstardom from very humble beginnings and proves to all of us what the power of dreams and hard work can bring.
