What Is the What by Dave Eggers

5.0

Wow. This book should be required reading. It's well written but what really gets me is the story - what the main character and so many of his peers have gone through. I can't believe I was not aware of the atrocities that are occuring today and the minimal amount this is discussed in the media and just in everday life. I can't stop talking about this to everyone I meet. I constantly find myself trying to come up with ideas of how I can help all the people who are experiencing this nightmare. Or even how I can get the word out about what is happening. Needless to say, this is one of those life changing books. One of those that stirs you all up inside and has helped me remember to keep perspective on what is really important. Everywhere I look I see how much we have and the possibilities we can each give as individuals.
