I stayed up the last night of reading to finish AND donated immediately to the cause, even though I was raising funds for another great cause. Awe-inspiring in many ways. A must-read!

This book is super interesting! The writing style does not flow very well and some sentences bogged down, I think because it's a (very talented) journalist trying to write hundreds of pages. That said, the flow gets better after about 80 pages, and the content is SO INTERESTING AND INSPIRING (!!) that it's worth it!
