Memoir & Autobiography

review 1: Quick read. Autobiography of a Ukranian who came to the USA with 17 cents in his pocket and lived the American dream of becoming successful through hard work and determination. What I found the most interesting was life before the U.S. His family was affected by the Chernobyl disaster, and because they are Jewish, experienced discrimination because of this in the Ukraine. Then he comes to America and is bullied and teased because he is an immigrant. Despite all of this, he continued to work hard and take advantages of opportunities that came his way.
review 2: A quick good read. read this on my e-reader.Kindle. Daniel Milstein wrote a fine memoir of his life so far.Daniel lived in Kiev until he was 17 his family were victims of Chernobyl nuclear power plant... more in 1986. he saw the results of that with his own family and townspeople. his grandfather ended up dying for complications of the radioactive poison. his family struggled in Kiev very poor not enough to eat. at 17 they found a way to escape and come to America. his family ended up in Michigan. a small apartment for his family of five. Daniel spoke no english and had little to eat even with food stamps it was not enough. he went to high school in Ann Arbor and soon got a job at McDonald eventually with hard work got offered manager. soon after he got a job at a bank wanting to learn and earn more money he worked his way up. and learned about lending in banks eventually he was so successful he ended up one of the top lenders in the country.he is now a millionaire is boss over 500 employees at only 37. a good rags to riches book and a true one. good for Daniel showing that hard work and determination can lead to success.I am from Michigan myself. so liked reading about a person who ended up in Michigan. less
