Even though this book is depressing, I couldn't put it down. I wanted to cancel all my plans and stay in to finish reading it.
Eddie doesn't hide the immense suffering he and many others went through. Yet with every word and in every moment, he has so much hope. His courage, bravery, determination, kindness and smarts are felt throughout each chapter. The story Eddie tells is a really inspiring one. It is motivating and despite everything, you can tell he has so much gratitude towards life.
I would encourage others to read this book.
