Book Reviews of They Poured Fire On Us From The Sky: The True Story of Three Lost Boys from Sudan

Book Review: Your Life Will Change Forever When You Read this Book
Summary: 5 Stars

I read the book 2 years ago and it's as inspirational as any book can be. Things that I thought mattered are silly to me now. I almost didn't read it because anything about children suffering I stay away from. But each time I saw it in the book store it was calling me to pick it up. They Poured Fire on Us from the Sky... what an unusual name for a book. I wondered what it meant. And what is the significance of the red shorts? The book is so well written and powerful with just the perfect tone that even middle school children on up should read it. By the end you will feel this book is about 3 wisemen, not 3 boys. The book will teach you to forget about your ego and make you want to spread kindness in the world.
