1.0 out of 5 stars Not at all what I expected
After reading the reviews for this book on Amazon, I purchased it. I've read several inspiring stories and always welcome another good book to my library. However, I am really, truly, sorry to say that I believe that the reviews for this book by other Amazon readers must have been created by friends and acquaintances of the author. The book is incredibly poorly written...

5.0 out of 5 stars Read this and you will understand the world better, October 16, 2006
This review is from: The Tale of Juliet: You Have the Power to Change Your Life (Hardcover)
The tales of Juliet is very inspiring to me. For me, the value one can get from Jhet's personal story is more about connections and virtues.

Every immigrant would benefit from reading this book whether one came from Philippines or somewhere else in the world. Its all about connecting with the experience of third world countries and understanding their virtues and values. Its all about respect for everyone's way of thinking and living. Read this and you will understand the world better. Love and Blessings to all!

5.0 out of 5 stars Inspiring real world story, May 18, 2006

This review is from: The Tale of Juliet: You Have the Power to Change Your Life (Hardcover)
I've read the book in one sitting. I simply couldn't put it down.

Jhet's story is intriguing, fun and simply real world stuff.

What amazed me most about the book was seeing the journey, and the growth along it, of Jhet. It's a real story that at times made me cry and made me laugh.

Reading the book made me realize that it doesn't matter where you start in life, but where you end up.

Coming from total poverty, Jhet could have had tons of excuses not to go for a better life. Fortunately, she believed in herself and went for her goals...one step at a time.

And what I love about this woman is that she wants the same and more for all of us!

I strongly recommend anyone to buy this book - especially for women - who want to be inspired by a real world story that is downright honest, guiding and poetical.

5.0 out of 5 stars Truly enlightening and inspiring, April 20, 2011
This review is from: The Tale of Juliet: You Have the Power to Change Your Life (Hardcover)
Throughout the entire book, I felt connected with Juliet. I felt her pain. I felt her happiness. I felt her tears. I felt her worries. This book opened my eyes to realize that we only live once and we need to take advantage of every opportunity. It also showed me that anything is possible. As a young adult, I have many dreams, but also many fears of failure. After reading The Tale of Juliet, I am inspired to never give up. This book truly inspired me and touched my heart. I even had a chance to visit the Philippines, which made the book more meaningful to me. All in all, definitely a must read!

5.0 out of 5 stars Inspirational & Moving Life Story, September 16, 2007
This review is from: The Tale of Juliet: You Have the Power to Change Your Life (Hardcover)
It's not often that i read a book from cover to cover in a single sitting. The Tale of Juliet had me hooked from the start, and didn't let up over the course of a truly amazing, roller coaster life.

The book is inspirational due to the magnitude of the obstacles that Jhet overcame, not once but several times on her journey. These were the kind of obstacles that anyone with an internet connection are never likely to encounter ... and so they serve as a truly powerful example of what is really possible in life.

Read this book for no other reason than to remove the limitations you have placed on your own life - I guarantee your dreams will get bigger, and seem more attainable after reading The Tale Of Juliet.

The simple telling of her story is both a refreshing break from the usual "How I became a millionaire" books, and a moving personal account.

Big dreams really do come true!
