"The Pursuit of Happyness" is a great inspirational story. It's a quick, entertaining, easy read. The language is colorful and Chris's life is graphic. If you read the book after seeing the movie, you may be a bit surprised. The 2006 movie focuses mainly upon Gardner's homelessness and struggle within the world of stocks, that portion of his life, however poignant and powerful, is but a small section of the book. Overall,"The Pursuit of Happyness" is a true journey from rock bottom to success.

An amazing story about a man who refused to give up and dedicated his life to making it work for he and his son. It is amazing what a positive spirit can accomplish in life.

I wasn't sure where this was going halfway through, but then the pace really picked up. An excellent memoir told as a "rags-to-riches" story. I'm looking forward to seeing the movie!

The movie looks great, so I was hoping this would be a really engaging read, but I found it a bit boring.
