Easy and short read and yet so inspirational!!!

[Bookworm · Rating 3 out of 5]

Excellent exploration of Samuel Morris’s life.

Uncomfortable: called him “the boy” multiple times almost every page, and page 110 a racist person said: “I don’t serve N3gr0s.” Which — while yes, it was to show racism against him — I feel like they could have left that sentence out.

DNF at page 53 because Jesus was “speaking” to Kaboo.

This is a great biography for kids and adults alike. I was touched by it, and you will be too.

Some books never get old. and Samuel Morris is one of its kind. You cannot judge this book by how thin it is because what this book expresses is so heart lifting and moving.
