My rating: 5 of 5 stars

This is a very biased review since I am a proud Purdue Boilermaker Alum. The book was great and I learned a lot about how Purdue helped support WWII. I also learned a lot about a team that I had never really read about. #BoilerUp

My rating: 4 of 5 stars

This was a fun book to read. It is about a former Purdue Basketball star and his adventures in life. From HS through college, into the NBA and finally now as leader in his town. I enjoyed it

THe Upset by Tyler Trent - 10th book I Have read this year.

The UpsetThe Upset by Tyler Trent

My rating: 5 of 5 stars


Being a Purdue University graduate I am extremely biased in the review of this book. I won't lie that at times it was tough read and other parts were truly inspiring. I am not the most religious guy around but the way Trent talked about how he accepted God's plan was amazing I do believe we were all put on earth to do something and sooner or later you will find it. His was to galvanize the college football and college sports fanatics around the world to try and help find a cure for cancer. If you are struggling with anything then please find someone to talk to. It could be God, it could be your spouse, a best friend a parent. Just talk. Enjoy your time with your family. This probably wasn't the smartest time for me to read this book since this month is the 11 year anniversary of when I lost my sister to cancer. I still believe that she and our Mom are looking down on our family trying to help us stay positive. Find your anchor and use it. Make a difference in the world. Small words can make a big difference. Finally let bygones be bygones and make up with someone you miss. Nothing is worse than not having someone still in your life because of a stupid argument. Take care and good luck.
