Book Reviews of The Kids from Nowhere
Book Review: "Inspiring" without the Sugar Shock
Summary: 5 Stars
One of those books I am so glad I didn't miss.
I can be a hard critic. I love a story that makes me feel richer for having read it, and I even admit I like a story that makes me feel good or is inspiring...but unfortunately I'm a realist that gags on the unrealistic sugar coating of most "inspiring" stories.
No sugar coating and (mostly) no gagging here to ruin this remarkable story (maybe I thought about coughing once or twice...darn it, I can't get rid of that little cynic in my head!)
Very human, achingly poignant at times, a window into another world and culture, full of relationships that make you laugh, cry, reflect, it offers even more than just the amazing "underdogs overcoming impossible obstacles and conquering" page-turner of a story.
By coincidence, I was in the middle of reading Three Cups of Tea when I picked up this book (and never put it down) and was delighted to find at the end that the author and "The Kids from Nowhere" are donating the royalties from this book for the school building efforts of the author of Three Cups of Tea. Beautifully appropriate! These are two books that pair well together...and will certainly get you to thinking...what meaningful things am I doing with my life?
