Alexander the great- book by Jacob abbot- finished in a matter of hours. 

Throughout the book I was searching for one thing- his motivation. What was his source of energy? How did he defy his emotion for his reason? What was the extent to Which he was ready to go in order to achieve his dream, which he surely did. By the end of the story I was convinced that even god fear the brave and real power resides in a man's endeavour to achieve his  dreams.
