From a Hackney council estate to the House of Lords, this is the extraordinary story of one of our greatest entrepreneurs. Alan Sugar was born in 1947 and brought up on a council estate in Clapton, in Hackney. As a kid he watched his dad struggle to support the family, never knowning from one week to the next if he'd have a job. It had a huge impact on him, fuelling a drive to succeed that was to earn him a sizeable personal fortune. Now he describes his amazing journey, from schoolboy enterprises like making and selling his own ginger beer to setting up his own company at nineteen.
My Thoughts: A massive disappointment. I think Alan Sugar is ace, but this book let him down. I couldn't finish it! He just did not come across well in this and it was so very dull. Not funny at all (as the blurb would lead you to believe).
I RATED IT 1/10
