ok book, wished there was more detail

wished the book shared more specifics on the situations faced and how challenges were overcome. Some parts were a bit high level. But regardless, a good perspective of a patriot to his country/ people.

Inspirational Journey delivered to perfection!

An inspiring journey of India's favourite president Dr APJ KALAM, delivered flawlessly in the enigmatic voice of Mr. Girish KARNAD. A must read or heard by today's youth who take everything for granted.
It gives a remarkable insight into the importance of hard work, resilience, respect and gratitude as a leader. Wise words that will continue to guide youth and generations across the globe.

Interesting Story Ruined By Too Much Music

It is a shame the producers of this audiobook thought it would be a good idea to add so much music to what was a really interesting autobiography. Reader did a good effort but the amount of music was shocking, almost turned it off several times time due to the inclusion of so much unrequired music. Truly ruined the story of such a great man!
