The Power of One: Young Readers' Edition Audiobook (Unabridged)

" I loved this book! !! !! OMG 😮 IT WAS AMZING SQUEEEEEEEEEEEEE! "

" Awesome story, read it a long time ago and plan on rereading it soon. "

" I thoroughly enjoyed this book, except for the ending. It was about how we choose to live our lives, morally. "

" One of my all-time favorite reads. "

" Brilliant novel. One of the best novels I have ever read. Simply perfect. If this book doesn't inspire the hell out of you and bring a tear or two to your eyes; Guess what? Your dead!! Read this one and you won't be disappointed. "

" I'm not sure how I feel about this book; there were times when I really liked it and points where I really felt like I had to make an effort to keep reading it, and it was only the memory of having enjoyed it before that kept me going, but I have to say it was largely worth the effort to keep going. "

" I already did twice now, tell you abt it. It's absolutely the greatest! "

" I loved this book and actually loved the movie just as much. Great read, very inspiring. But I liked inspiring books where the person overcomes some sort of adversity and all ends well with lots of hope and fuzzy feelings for the future. This may not be the best for realists out there.... "

" I'd give it an extra half star if it was an option. It was good and kept me reading but didn't rock my world. I accidentally checked out the young reader's edition, so I wonder if I had the unabridged version if I would have liked it better. "

" This most unlikely story turned out to be one of my favorite books in recent years. "

" Superb. Twenty years later and I still remember how brilliant this was. "

" Outstanding! This is the first of many of Bryce Courtenay's books that I have read and it will remain with me for a long, long time. Courtenay combines wit, humor, drama, suspense and intrigue with impeccable research. He should be better known in the US. I am a huge fan! "

" I love this book. If I had a thousand copies, I would make it my life's work to give one to someone every day. It is just that good. "

" Can't put this book down! "

" Read this as a teenager and really enjoyed the movie with morgan freeman in it. Great read anytime. "

" The Power of One was a very emotional and inspirational read. The story of Peekay is inspiring, and the writer has used beautiful wording to describe the events that unfold in this wonderful, empowering, read. "

" Loved this book. Had read it probably 20 years ago and loved it then, according to my now adult son. Wonderful story of a boy in South Africa who wants to become the Welterweight boxing champion of the world. Hard to describe its delightful style. Recommend highly. "

" A long winded, self-involved book about boxing and life lessons. The end. "

" Must read for anyone in their teenage years. Most memorable book of my teenage life. This is not a chick flick or some sort of trashy teen novel. It provokes you to consider how determination and perseverance is defined in SA. "

" Loved this book until Part Three and then it was ruined. "

" One of my all time favorite books! "

" A epic evolution of the human spirit, set against the odds "

" One of my all time Favorite books! The story is engrossing, the language is beautiful, and you become fully immersed in the world. This book is magical, but only in the sense of what a person can over come. "

" The Power of One, is my kind of book, fighting for what is right. "

" I loved this book. The beauty of it is that on one level it can be read as simply a story, albeit an exceptional one, but on another level it has thoughtful and powerful insights about the purpose of life, although not so many that they aren't supported and don't feel meaningful. "

" Always like reading about how good overcomes evil. Read this book many many years ago (in school) I found it compelling and glad to see people trying stamp out racism. I found it hard to put the book down. Another book that I found inspirational "

" Liked it! I wasn't sure I could get into a book starting out with a 5 y/o being bullied at boarding school but the indomitable spirit of this particular little guy keeps you reading! "

" Well-written. Not the fastest read. Not sure why I didn't love it but appreciated the language. Must not have left a huge impression because I can't even remember how it ended. "

" Feel like this book honestly changed my life love love loved it "

" A great recommendation from my friend Ellen. This is one of the most inspirational reads I've found in a long time. It would be a great read for any young person. "
