Why Ben?: A Sister's Story Of Heartbreak And Love For The Brother She Lost by Brooke Kinsella

5.0

Why Ben? is a book that not only details the death of the 16-year-old Ben Kinsella in a random knifing in London in 2008, but is an emotional look at how his elder sister and their family dealt with their grief. It also details Brooke Kinsella’s anti-knife campaigning and her research into various sentencing and punishment methods both in the UK and U.S.

It was a book that I was pleasantly surprised to find that I couldn’t put down and probably got through quicker than any other book I’ve ever read and even found it inspirational. I definitely recommend everyone reads it.
