Editorial Reviews

Product Description
What happened to the boy who suddenly got everything he ever wanted?

He lived happily ever after.

Terry Fator overcame many odds—an abusive father, a peripatetic and isolated childhood, and decades of struggles—before winning America's Got Talent. In one year, he went from being a struggling entertainer to appearing on Oprah, Letterman and Ellen to sold-out shows in Las Vegas and signed as the major headliner on the Strip in Las Vegas at The Mirage. This is the story of the man with the million dollar voice.

5.0 out of 5 stars Who's the Dummy Now?, November 19, 2008
This is a very insightful book. It tells what has made Terry Fator, Terry Fator. What he is today is because of his circumstances. It reminds us all not to let our past rule us. It was very welcoming to see that anyone and everyone can acheive success if we have motivation and if we have God on our side. It is really nice to read how one depends on God to help him through. One great book to read. I couldn't put it down. If you are lucky enough to meet this man, you will find that he is facinating and amazing man, not to mention a world class ventriloquist!!!

5.0 out of 5 stars This book will enrich your life!, November 20, 2008
This is one of the best celebrity bios I have ever read. It is a great rags to riches story but above all a story of incredible perserverance against all odds to succeed at something the author loved which was performing.

This is a very visceral book. I found myself laughing and crying at various times and I am a 50 year old man. The stories about Terry's father dashing his dreams at every opportunity were anger inducing but there was so much joy to be had in reading his climb up the ladder and his meeting his wife-to-be Melinda.

This is a very fast read and extremely satisfying. Your life will be enriched by reading Terry Fator's story.

5.0 out of 5 stars Overcoming incredible odds, December 4, 2008
If you watched Terry win on "America's Got Talent" -- or even if you didn't -- this is a MUST read. What a story. This man overcame an incredibly depressing, brutal childhood, yet never gave up on his dream to become a successful entertainer. My husband and I have met him, and he is exactly as he has appeared on TV -- just a friendly, talented man who loves life and people and appreciates everything that has happened to him. He is an uplifting, inspiring story of a dream come true.
