It's My Life and I'll Do What I Want

About the Book

"The author of this very interesting book is obviously a self-centered, arrogant and condescending human being. I would not waste any time reading even one page, otherwise you will get hooked and will not be able to put the book own unless you finish it in its entirety. The basic theme-poor schnook makes good only to be dethroned by his own hubris-is as old and tired as the Greek Tragedies. It is so trite as to be comical. I believe intensive long-term psychotherapy with a team of analysts from Austria would have a field day with this individual. I suggest you read the book and see if you agree."
