I found this book in New Arrivals just when I was looking for a good book for my English project. I was going for Looking for Alaska, but it didn't fit the requirements (at least 300 pages). I blindly just bought this book as a mere second choice. Then, I started reading it, and my gosh, how I couldn't stop. For the project, I have to annotate it so I planned to read a few pages and start on it, you know. But, I got so into the book I didn't stop till I read the whole thing. It is truly grasping. And, the story makes you realize that your first world problems are nothing compared to what other people go through, everyday. Having to be away from the people you love, working for millions of hours a day and still not earning anything but a piece of bread, and being treated like you don't deserve anything but hatred and insults. It's tough. The book also teaches you about the sacrifices people you love (as in your parents) make to make YOU happy. I completely recommend this book for a nice read and to make you grateful for everything you have in your life.
