具体描述
With startling candor and intimacy, Sonia Sotomayor recounts her life from a Bronx housing project to the federal bench, a progress that is testament to her extraordinary determination and the power of believing in oneself. She writes of her precarious childhood and the refuge she took with her passionately spirited paternal grandmother. She describes her resolve as a young girl to become a lawyer, and how she made this dream become reality: valedictorian of her high school class, summa cum laude at Princeton, Yale Law, prosecutor in the Manhattan D.A.'s office, private practice, federal district judge before the age of forty. She writes about her deeply valued mentors, about her failed marriage, about her cherished family of friends. Through her still-astonished eyes, America's infinite possibilities are envisioned anew in this warm and honest book, destined to become a classic of self-discovery and self-invention, alongside Barack Obama's Dreams from My Father.

Picked up this book for some light holiday reading before the CNY. Didn't start until after the festival and then finished it in merely a few days. This woman, the first Hispanic and third female appointed to the U.S. supreme court, is a perfect example of ...
评分At first as I saw the number of pages, 500-, I thought this book should have been read within 2 days. But when my estimation was put into actual practice, I found the book is much more intriguing for me to speed up. As this is the first time her name co...

A warm story.
评分作为自传这简直写的太好了 文笔优雅流畅不学究 章节架构自然 瞎bb说她灌鸡汤的要求真是太高 人家就是把人生活得这么鸡汤怎么办呢 何况还要考虑读者需求啊 她用半本书写自己的离婚经历你就爽了吗？用另外半本写自己的表哥吸毒？她也对这些负面事件都做了一章的详细描写了啊 读者一看到一个最高法大法官出自传 就是好奇传奇人物背后的那些一步一步的脚印 她在这一点上做的简直不能更好 人家前序就说了 自传肯定不可避免地比传记要少些客观的 你说你还不爽人家卖鸡汤 讲的都是正面的事 那你看了前序就别看了呀 等出了传记再看她的客观生活啊
评分跟tolstoy的半小说半自传的Childhood; Boyhood; Youth比，差距大。作家和法官写自传，差别真大。
评分Very inspiring and motivating
评分很难想到一个先天性重度糖尿病患者，每天抽三包烟的波多黎各女人最终能成为美国高法大法官。传记里她同时强调了生活中的两方面：来自外界的困难和来自外界的帮助。在自传中同时强调这两者看似矛盾，但本书的写作意图就是希望人们能看到世界是美好的吧。关于歧视的态度很有启发性...但总感觉对自己的家庭太过冷酷了呢，可能是文化差异吧。另外一个问题是她似乎生来就这么优秀的，莫名其妙的就从贫民中学硬撸成普林斯顿的summa cum laude了。更想看看个人的心态转变和如何应对失败。这可能是自传的普遍问题吧——dark side都藏起来了。
