Breaking Through the Silicon Ceiling by Christine King is an inspiring story of her life and how she triumphed over adversity and obstacles in her life. She narrates her journey from being jobless to being a successful CEO of a semiconductor company. Her journey mostly dwells on IBM, a semiconductor organization that molded her, and how her determination brought about her success. She has also touched on her personal life as well as her hobbies, so the book is all-rounded.

I like the way the author has narrated everything that touches her life, big and small, good and bad, in her life journey. She has likewise not left out successes and failures, not to mention those who have helped her along the way as well as those who have let her down. It has been an extraordinary learning experience as I read through the book and found out that it is not a book to read in one sitting but one that needs to be digested slowly.

I rate this book, Breaking Through the Silicon Ceiling by Christine King 5 out of 5 stars.

I recommend this book to people who have great visions for their lives and careers. As the author states on page 188, "Most people can imagine a path to achieving their visions. But those who walk that path successfully are few. " Well, to be one of the few mentioned, this book, Breaking Through the Silicon Ceiling by Christine King, will be an eye-opener to finding the needed path to success. Additionally, I recommend it to those in the business world, as the author talks so much about customer handling and their importance in delivering results. They will learn much about customer success, business mission, and financial results. Above all, I recommend this book, Breaking Through the Silicon Ceiling by Christine King, to women of all walks of life. It will help them do a soul search and find themselves in their journey of finding their full potential, and it will also help them advance in their careers, especially those in male-dominated ones. It will assist them in gaining the determination needed to succeed too., just as the author explains on page 188, "If successes were easy, everyone would have them."
