Rated 1 of 5 of 5 by Ragnarok
It escapes me why anyone would enjoy this book, nevermind read it. I read it because it was a summer rewading book and my options were limited, I have to say I hated it. As much as he tries to sound right and making a difference, he sounds like total jackass.
"I only have 75 things! I'm special!"
"People in 3rd world countries live off of 2 DOLLARS a day"(mentioned twice)
thats nice, but this is not a 3rd world country, this is the United States, I don't see you trying to live off the $2 a day you mentioned, why? its not possible, not in this society anyway, so don't shove these things onto me

Rated 5 of 5 of 5 by Gumby
this book is exciting, but confusing over if it is fact or fiction

Rated 5 of 5 of 5 by DragonHawk
I grabbed this book off the shelf at my local library, never expecting to actually like it when i read it. I only took it because I hadnt read it yet, and it was the first book i came accross that Looked even remotely interesting. But boy was i wrong!
This book amazed me. And, no kidding, i got it at 9:00, began to read at about 11:30, and i didnt put it down once, untill i finnished it. wich was at about 3:00 in the morning. And then, crazy thing, i woke up dreaming about it. And that has never happend to me before. I have read many books, and stayed up late many times. But never once dreamed about a book i had read.
This book has left an Impact on me, in more ways than one. When i began reading the letter from the author, i was like: "okay so this is a true story." and then, getting into the book itself, i was amazed at the things that happened. i began to wonder if it was, infact, true. after all it was published as Fiction.
Now i Honestly have no idea what to believe, but i will believe in the messsage of the story.
And i will believe in myself.

Rated 5 of 5 of 5 by anna

Rated 4 of 5 of 5 by Average Human 41
   This book was brought to me by a book order, I thought this book would be rebelias(Spell check), and it is, for a while, but if bought or rented this beause of the same reason I did, be aware!
