What a great book!
I read this book just two weeks before the American Mathematics Contests this year as a freshman. I had never heard of these contests, but reading this book gave me everything I need to know! With its help, I qualified for the AIME (though missed the USA math olympiad by 1 question!). If you are into math contests, trust me, this will significantly raise your score.

An Extraordinary Tale of Redemption...
I've read a lot of books in my time, but this is the first review I've written. I believe this novel deserves my praise and your attention! It's about sports, it's about war, but most of all, it's about people. The characters are memorable. A week ago or so, I took a chance on an unknown author. With the Olympic games in full swing, I stumbled across this novel and decided to give it a ...

If anyone has any information regarding the author, please let ...
