Review:

After reading the complete title of Fred Levin's life story it reminds me of watching a movie preview and later finding out the best parts were in the five minute coming attraction. With the title giving a short description of how he became famous and rich the book seems to be titles the way Fred Levin wants his story told. In describing all of Fred's difficulties they all end with "happily ever after" story lines. Very few detractors are interviewed compared to the people who all shout his praise.

The book is an interesting read but mostly pro Fred Levin. It would have been interesting to hear more from people who lost against him so that the reader could get the two sides to the stories.
