It always reminds me that even though life gets hard you can get through it. ( ) This is a simple little story, but I was pleased to see that I enjoyed it as much this time around as I did when I read it as a young person. It takes a great deal of character to do with one's life what Charlie did with his. The message of this book is a lot different than the message the world gives us today. In today's world, there would be no forgiveness of unkindness - just lots of demands for equal and fair. Substance: More of a parable than a story, since the elements are selected for maximum bathos. Style: Fanciful type used to set off narrative and dialog Moral of the story: everyone is important and if you want to be remembered, make your own monument; however, a large monument can be constructed one rock (action) at a time over a lot of years..

Adults scorned him, school children jeered him, yet Charlie was determined that his life would amount to something. He would not have lived in vain. Born with only one arm, a twisted back, and badly deformed legs, and orphaned while still a boy, Charlie also carried with him the legacy of his resolute mother: You can do anything you want to if you want it badly enough.Charlie's will to live -- and to live largely -- will eventually win him the respect of his peers, the gratitude of his town, and the love of a very special woman who is able to look past his deformities and see into his heart. This inspiring tale, already embraced by more than 300,000 readers, will lift your spirits and reconfirm your faith in the basic human qualities of courage and compassion.
