The Chronicles of Adrian Smith

“…, the short version of the review is that I was entertained from cover to cover - it has injected variety in to my library, and maybe added a little bit of motivation to my life. So I am passing on that recommendation - this book is for anyone who has ever had a dream. Enjoy Rich's memoirs, and in doing so, let them encourage you to do something about the pursuit of your dream, today. “
