Most likely I did not receive the actual work, despite requesting to read and review it. The only thing that I received was a letter drafted from the author to the reader which was very vague and in essence encouraged the reader to never give up in life. The reason is that because the author has managed to survive so many horrible tragedies and continued to exist then so should we. What made it even worse is that it appears that someone else actually published the letter and signed the authors name to it. I am not sure how that managed to skip by the editing process, but it did.

Overall I would have loved to read the story of the author as I am a fan of autobiographies, especially when someone who is not given much chance for success is able to overcome the situations and trials in their way. While the author may have had to scale mountains and move many, many molehills across the Sahara, I would not have a clue. If I could have received an actual work I would have been happy to read it. It looks like I will never know exactly what the author intended for me to know.
