adventurous challenging dark emotional hopeful informative inspiring reflective sad tense fast-paced

5.0

This one of the very best books I have ever read. Although it was almost 400 pages, it only took me a few days to read. I couldn’t put it down. Usually I read fiction, but sometimes people’s lives read better than fiction. I am so so glad I took the time to read this book. It was life changing.

wow wow wow. i cannot explain my love for this book. this is such a harrowing tale and at some points i forgot it wasn’t fiction. my heart just broke for the people in the story and it got so tense at times i worried for the survival of javier that i forgot i was reading a memoir. i will never forget this book.
