Jeanette R. (thebeakeeper) reviewed beautiful story, beautifully written on 6/24/2009 + 167 more book reviews

i read a review on this in a magazine and i am so glad i got it. this is definitely one of my top ten favorite books. i had never heard of carlos acosta before this book, but i am curious to learn more aout him. he came from a tiny town in havana, cuba from a life of poverty and because of his father's insistance, he became a world recognized, prize winning, top ballet dancer. the story, as i am sure his dance ability, was beautiful. i didn't want it to end. it wasn't silly or cheesy or exaggeragted as a lot of memoirs are. it was just a beautiful tale of life- ups and downs, and finding your own definition of home. eeryone should read this.
