<p/><br></br><p><b> About the Book </b></p></br></br> "Kevin Hart was born an accident, unwanted by his parents. His father was a drug addict who was in and out of jail. His brother was a crack dealer and petty thief. And his mother was overwhelmingly strict, beating him with belts, frying pans, and his own toys. The odds, in short, were stacked against our young hero. But Kevin Hart, like Ernest Hemingway, JK Rowling, and Chocolate Droppa before him, was able to defy the odds. In his literary debut, he takes the reader on a journey through what his life was, what it is now, and how he's overcome each challenge to become the man he is today. And that man happens to be the biggest comedian in the world, with tours that sell out football stadiums and films that have collectively grossed over $3.5 billion. He achieved this not just through hard work, determination, and talent, but through his unique way of looking at the world. Because just like a book has chapters, Hart sees life as a collection of chapters that each person gets to write for himself or herself"--Back cover. <p/><br></br><p><b> Book Synopsis </b></p></br></br> <b><i>New York Times </i>bestselling author, superstar comedian, and Hollywood box office star Kevin Hart turns his immense talent to the written word in this "hilarious but also heartfelt" (<i>Elle</i>) memoir on survival, success, and the importance of believing in yourself.</b> <p/>The question you're probably asking yourself right now is: What does Kevin Hart have that a book also has? <p/>According to the three people who have seen Kevin Hart and a book in the same room, the answer is clear: <p/>A book is compact.
