In this remarkable book, George Dawson, a 101 year old man who learned to read when he was 98, reflects on the philosophy he learned from his father, a belief that "life is so good" as he offers valuable lessons in living and a fresh, firsthand view of America during the twentieth century. Born in 1898 in Marshall, Texas, the grandson of slaves, George Dawson tells how his father, despite hardships, always believed in seeing the richness in life and trained his children to do the same. At ninety-eight, George decided to learn to read and enrolled in a literacy program, becoming a celebrated student. In Life Is So Good, he shares wisdom on everything from parenting ("With children, you got to raise them. Some parents these days are growing children, not raising them") to attitude ("People worry too much. Life is good, just the way it is").Hide synopsis

This book joins the list of my all-time favorite reads. As an avid reader for over 53 years, that's my highest recommendation for a book. The story was touching and inspirational. The way Mr. Dawson slyly taught Mr. Glaubman so many life lessons was amazing. The book had me taking a look at my own ...

On the second day of my Easter break (April 22, 2011), my 30 year old cousin died of cancer. After his mother had died suddenly last year, his body and spirit seemed to break down and follow her path. I only met him once, at age eight and didn't know too well except that he is my blood uncle's son. ...

I found this book appealing because the main character was born the same year as my white great-grandmother, and I thought of the disparity between their two lives. As a country, we should not forget where we have come from and this story tells part of our past. The story is not preachy, but lovingly ...
