This book is a true inspiration about changing your life and over coming difficult struggles in life. This biography is about Paul Evans life and his rising from the most hardest period of his life too a person who became one of the leading businessmen in the hospitality industry. You can’t put this book down from your hand as each chapter surprises you in different sections of life. I would 100% recommend this book to everyone - as it is a truly inspiring story.

Reading this book makes me believe I can achieve anything
A truly inspirational story from the first page to the last. Once you start reading you won’t be able to stop. This book shows how a persons spirit cannot be broken, if they have the strength and the determination to fight any adversity they meet in life.

Paul is truly inspirational - rags to riches to rags and back to riches!
This is a remarkable true life story. The simple business story is that Paul co-owns and runs a hugely successful chain of bars and restaurants in Dubai and beyond. But how he got there - from six months in a coma to losing millions in the Egyptian revolution - is extraordinary!

That the whole basis is lies
As someone that personally knows this person, i know that his bad fortune was created by his bad ways. Every bad thing that happened was due to a bad thing he started. Issac Newtons third Law of motion states 'every action has an equal and opposite reaction'. this man cares for no one, takes from everyone.....states that he has been given second chances.....but is not even prepared to listen to others to give a second chance. His ego puts him in these situations.....and unfortunately, even though i did request to discuss a second chance....i was cut dead. There will be another book, i don't know who and when it will be written.....but it will go something like this. Paul charges back into Dubai, dreams of nightclub supremacy, believes he can move on from where he left off.....then the landlords, cleaners, contractors and locals who believe this is a billionaire with a bottomless pit all put there bills in. Contacts he arrogantly dismissed will be unhelpful.....thats just one possible plot, i for one cannot wait to read it, however this may be a long time coming.

Inspirational, brilliantly written and gripping from cover to cover!! Couldn’t put it down!!
What a page turner! Had me gripped from the first chapter. I couldn’t put it down! Finished reading at 1.30am!!!Absolutely brilliantly written and in particular I really like the “wake up” summaries at the end of each section-a very unique way to present and inspire the reader.The book is compelling and takes the reader on an emotional journey; it will have you laughing out loud, fighting back tears and gasping in amazement!I was in Egypt at the time much of this was happening and know Paul and many of the characters and found it an inspiring journey. I am sure that this book will be a phenomenal success and prove to many that anything is possible with the right attitude and determination to succeed.Waiting for the movie :)

#Epic Read
I have a very personal reason for wanting to read this book. I was enthralled and saddened by many aspects of the book but thought that the way it had been written was authentic and gripping. I would like wish Paul and his nearest and dearest every luck for the future onwards and upwards...... What doesn't break us makes us stronger. If only everyone could take the positivity and turn it into the success and strength this man has shown and achieved.#1st CLASS
