4.0

This was a hard read at times. Though I am glad it didn't get explicit in the details. I will say that it had its hopeful moments, and his story is truly amazing. I had a greater understanding of just what life could look like for those who are impoverished in India. But also the good that some people bring with organizations and/or hearts to help those in need.

adventurous challenging emotional inspiring mysterious tense fast-paced

3.5

A page turner, the plot is great and inspiring. Fast paced and exciting, but lacking any depth to the prose. The writing was a bit bland for me and to me lacked the emotional insight and reflection that could have made this book so much more.
