My Thoughts:

               This book was really inspiring. At times we are waiting for opportunities to come but how many of us are really keen of coming out of our comfort zone and taking the next step. Through this story we get to see how Ronnie got an opportunity to succeed but that opportunity also came with a lot of conditions which a normal person would not have agreed to. When Ronnie was selected for the Millionaire Program he was put under so many challenges and he was a little unsure at first. However, there was something at the back of his mind that just wasn’t allowing to back out of these situations and there was an urge to learn something new through this process.

               The characters are well written and so relatable. We get to see all sort of characters which we get to meet in real life. Some, are negative and try to pull people down. While some others are very cold. Ronnie is someone who has been listening to people all his life and people could easily force him to do work which they didn’t want to do. This program really thought him to do what he feels and thinks is the best for him.

               Languages is simple and lucid. I really loved how this story flowed. I can surely say that the author has written the story in such a manner that the readers will be curious to know what is going to happen next. Especially, the readers would surely want each and everyone participant of the Millionaire’s Program to succeed.

               Overall, this was a pleasurable experience and I would surely recommend this to everyone.
