Description
In 1939, hatred took root in South Africa, where the seeds of apartheid were newly sown. There a boy called Peekay was born. He spoke the wrong language–English. He was nursed by a woman of the wrong color–black. His childhood was marked by humiliation and abandonment. Yet he vowed to survive–he would become welterweight champion of the world, he would dream heroic dreams.
But his dreams were nothing compared to what awaited him. For he embarked on an epic journey, where he would learn the power of words, the power to transform lives, and the mystical power that would sustain him even when it appeared that villainy would rule the world: The Power of One.

1By dabbdbcjbThis is only half the book! Buy the hard copy to get the WHOLE book!Power of One
1By K-J-C-05I should have read the reviews - 1/2 a book that isn’t disclosed when you buy is unethical.Not the Entire Novel!
2By 😄KJIHIUNHBJJBGHVGHVThis story was pretty good- it was missing bits from the actual book 😒I had to purchase the Power of One for an English assignment- I expected ALL of the novel, not just half of it- this was not stated! Now I cannot seem to find the other half and I'm not sure what to do about the rest!What the heck Apple?!
1By Supercalifragilisticexpiali...I lost my school book and I needed to finish chapters 18-24 by tomorrow, so I came to the store and bought this book for SEVEN FREAKING DOLLARS. I got to the book and quickly realized that this was the entire half of the book that I did not need. Do not buy this it is a scam. If any apple personnel see this, it would be great to get a refund.Warning: Don't Buy! Only Half a Book!!
1By Mo FrazVery misleading and unethical to trick buyers into purchasing a "condensed version," that ends up being a watered down version of the first half of the original. Was my first iBooks purchase and will be my last--not cool! Very bad business practice!only half the book!!!
1By Jeff Gunhusonly half the bookNot The Full Book
1By Bobandbob181Do Not Buy They only give you half of the book.Half the book
1By The way it's supposed to beThis book is a cheat, there is so much more to the book than what this ibook delivers. Do not buy, you are better off with the full, paper versionWhat a Rip Off!
1By Pookie’s momI left my hard copy of The Power of One at a hotel yesterday, and was so excited to read this downloaded version but IMMEDIATELY realized half the chapter I was on (getting Big Hettie out of the sleeping cabin) was missing. I feel completetly robbed of my $6.99. Shame on iBooks!!Do not buy this copy! Less than half the book!
1By ElizabethteachesyogaAlthough the first part of this book is beautiful, I assumed I was purchasing the ENTIRE story! The full book doesn't seem to be available. Shame on you iBook!! Cheating us out of Morrie, Solly, Rasputin & the Crystal cave of Africa. Boo!!!!
