2 months and 500 pages later I have finished reading this book!

Why did it take me soo long!?

This is a great book, but I had mixed feelings the whole time.

It was not autobiographical, but read like one, but Dave Eggers and VAD awed me with their storytelling talents.

This books was heartbreaking, funny, educational, and hopeful!

what is the what is what it is...

i really recommend that people read about what VAD is doing currently in efforts to rebuild schools, facilities in his home Marial Bai- what an amazing story!

Let me know, I live in LA, but I'd love to support in any way- even outreaching to my NorCal contacts!
