1st time
This was the first time I have ever read a summary of a book like this. I liked it, but two things I think would help a bit,
1) description of characters I would have liked a few physical characteristics to help me relate a little better.
2) may using a few actual lines or paragraphs in the summary would have pulled me in a little bit more.
I know in a summary it is not possible to give all the details, that is the point of it. But just a little bit more was needed I felt.
Thank you
Great Read
I enjoyed the Boston Girls character nicely discribed. Insight was very good. Very much enjoyed the book. Highly Recommended.
Awesome book!
I got the book without much expectations but I was really wrong... it is a really interesting book, it really move your heart and it is really inspiring, because you can see there are many people in worse situations than yours, but they keep fighting, so this book moves you to think what am I doing?, why do I give up so easily? And why I am not fighting if I still can?
It is an amazing reading...
Totally recommended!
