No Longer A Slumdog: Bringing Hope To Children In Crisis (2011) - Plot & Excerpts
I liked it and it was interesting but instead of personal accounts and how his group saved these kids, it was more like a 200 page commercial for "Save the Children." I thought the push at the end for "$35 a month" on every page was a little much. They could have said if you want to help, go to this website or something a little more subdued. I felt at times like I was reading a fundraising pamphlet. Well, actually, this deserves a 3.5 stars.I usually don't read non-fiction but I wanted to change my reading and I decided to read this one. I won't talk about the narrative or the style of writing because this was very easy to read and also extremely realistic.The stories of all those children who live in India have made me realize how lucky I am and my pains and sufferings are nothing compared with they problems.If you read this book and don't feel anything, maybe it's because you have never been in those children's shoes.Why I put a lower rate? Because I didn't like that kind of 'advertising' about the GFA. I know that the main purpose of this book is call to others to help this children but in sometimes, I felt like I was reading a newspaper.By other side, I was touched by the stories and I thank God for the Bridge of hope centers, because they're the hands who help those people.
