具體描述
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.

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...

釜底抽薪從來都屬於智者，你不得不服她的發跡史，抽到South Bronx / catholic upbringing/juvenile obesity / father died young/ mom ( used to be) an alcoholic這樣牌麵的working class ，還能翻身打進Supreme Court ，絕對是極有慧根的瞭。所以，以此為雞湯來勵誌的，我覺得普適性不大呢。
评分作為自傳這簡直寫的太好瞭 文筆優雅流暢不學究 章節架構自然 瞎bb說她灌雞湯的要求真是太高 人傢就是把人生活得這麼雞湯怎麼辦呢 何況還要考慮讀者需求啊 她用半本書寫自己的離婚經曆你就爽瞭嗎？用另外半本寫自己的錶哥吸毒？她也對這些負麵事件都做瞭一章的詳細描寫瞭啊 讀者一看到一個最高法大法官齣自傳 就是好奇傳奇人物背後的那些一步一步的腳印 她在這一點上做的簡直不能更好 人傢前序就說瞭 自傳肯定不可避免地比傳記要少些客觀的 你說你還不爽人傢賣雞湯 講的都是正麵的事 那你看瞭前序就彆看瞭呀 等齣瞭傳記再看她的客觀生活啊
评分not bad
评分Inspiring in a different way
评分If there is anything more you can ask in your life, appreciate for everything you have got and look forward to whatever will come along. Life is a one-time ticket. Justice Sotomayor could not be born any more common than any of us, but she has lived her life up to her dream. Edu can change a life, but whether to go for a good education, your call.
