Book Reviews
See below for a sample of reviews of The First Thirty (for students - or - for adults who like shorter books) and The Silhouette Man (for adults - or- for students who like longer books):
Jeanne-Marie P, Louisiana: "An inspiring reminder that, whether it's the other side of the world, the other side of the country, or just the other side of the tracks, if you end up in a place you never expected to be and dare to explore it, you just may find your passion in the process."
Leah K, New York: "A story about sailing through choppy seas, weathering the storms, taking the time to notice the wide expanse of beauty around you, getting lost, getting back on course, and living to tell about the extraordinary adventure....a kid who grew up fantasizing about the immense ways he could change the world, while overcoming the challenges thrown at him along the way…”
Dave Santulli, Executive Director & Founder, United Planet: "...His path is filled with perseverance, vision, daring adventure, and a zest for life. He entertains and inspires us every step of the way and permits us to laugh at our own failures and missteps by sharing some of his own. Greg shows us that everyone has greatness within them if only they have the courage to believe in themselves despite the odds..."
Sharon G, Florida: "The Silhouette Man...is a touching tale of dreams coming true... I would recommend this book to anyone who has...dreams or just wishes they did, and who is trying to define their place in the world and refuses to let others define it for them."
Midwest Book Review: "A lesson in humanity...an uplifting true story that reminds us that all the movie-caliber underdog stories we see don't always have to be make-believe..."
