Just what I asked for in great condition and quick arrival. It was also a good price for a paperback book and I would definitely buy from this seller again if I was looking for another book.

The Power of One is exceptionally well written, bringing the reader along on Peekay's incredible journey to manhood. He encounters a Dickensian roster of characters and there are laughs and tears (the other reveiwers note the cruetly of the much of the subject matter, and they are not mistaken)along the way.
But where oh where are the female characters? They exist only to further the plot and have no dreams or characteristics all their own, except an amazing faculty to serve the male characters.

) Everything was smooth and fast. The shipping was fast, the shipping charges were reasonable, and the cost of the book was reasonable. However, the seller stated it was like new with no writings, but some of the pages were torn, and their many annotations throughout the book. Pencil and highlighter marks everywhere.

Power of One by Bryce CourtenayI bought this book for my grandson because it teaches good values in an interesting setting. In today's world there are so many things bombarding our youngsters that promote the wrong values, it is comforting to be able to share something that teaches the right things consistently.

My Book Club read this novel in May 2006. Most of us enjoyed the book and found it thought provoking. This poignant coming of age story is told in the first person by "PK," who we meet at the young age of five years old. South Africa at the beginning, duration and the years following WWII,provides a historical setting to the extraordinary discovery of self and triumph over adversity and cruelty that the reader experiences along with PK.
Some graphic instances of cruelity make this suitable for older teens only and adults who are prepared for this.
