summeryoder 's review for:
The 15:17 to Paris: The True Story of a Terrorist, a Train, and Three American Heroes
by Anthony Sadler, Alek Skarlatos, Spencer Stone
challenging
tense
medium-paced
This book was simultaneously hard to put down and difficult to read.
As a sensitive reader, the brutality of the fight that prevented the terrorist attack was tough reading, as well as the boys' childhood of fascination with guns and battle.
But the friendship and bravery of the boys and the series of events that lead them to the right place at the right time kept me reading.
I appreciated how they discussed their unexpected overnight fame and how that affected each of them differently.
