About the Author
Peter B. Kyne (1880-1957) was an American novelist who wrote between 1904 and 1940. Many of his works were adapted into screenplays starting in the silent era, particularly his first novel, The Three Godfathers, which was published in 1913 and proved to be a huge success. He is credited in 110 films between 1914 and 1952. When still under 18, he lied about his age and enlisted in Company L, 14th U.S. Infantry, which served in the Philippines from 1898-1899. The Spanish-American War and the following insurrection of General Emilio Aguinaldo provided background for many of Kyne's later stories. During World War I, he served as a captain in Battery A of the 144th field Artillery, known as the California Grizzlies. He was born and died in San Francisco, California.

I am an adjunct instructor in a business college of a university in the midwest. My students were given this book as an option for a required or an extra credit review. Of the 84 students, 80% purchased, read, and reviewed it. Most found it very exciting and a book they will keep to use over and over again. I have owned the book for years and reread it many times. It is great to know that 20 year-olds can gain from reading such a timeless story.

I give this book a '10' because it is short, in a story format, and has surpassed the test of time. Many "motivational" books are long; too long for someone who is busy and needs information to the point. I read this book in an hour and really felt like I was involved with the main character.

When I first picked up The Go-Getter by Peter Kyne, I was really sure of what to expect. I was looking for the typical book to tell you steps on how to become a "go-getter"... I am pleased to say that I was wrong. This book showed me that a person can not give up no matter what obstacles are in front of them. One must always strive to do their best. I know now that I am going to go after the blue vase and do whatever it takes to get it from the store!
