- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5Excellent read! Compelling story! I highly recommend! Check it out!
- Rating: 3 out of 5 stars3/5I am very happy Chef Henderson found his way out of a life of theft and drug dealing. His inspiring personal tale of redemption contains all the raw ingredients for a five-star reading experience, but clunky execution kept it at three stars. Still an interesting story and well worth the price of the book.
- Rating: 4 out of 5 stars4/5This is the story of an individual who is able to turn around his life. At a young age involved in petty crimes its only a matter of time before he's caught. As he grows older the crimes become less petty and more severe and so does the punishment. Finally being sent to prison, he's offered an opportunity to save his own life and the direction that he's headed. There is a message of redemption, making the right choices, and breaking of the "victim" mentality. To further the point he's become a public speaker, has won numerous awards and I think he even has a show on the Food Network.
- Rating: 3 out of 5 stars3/5Henderson's life makes for a fascinating read. He cooked and sold crack in San Diego in the 1980s, made tons of money and ended up in federal prison. There, he discovered cooking. Now he's an executive chef at the Bellagio in Las Vegas. He's brutally honest about his flaws and his accompliments will give anyone hope.
