This is an outstanding story of a young man with great achievements. He takes us through a life of trial survived only by kindness. I was at tears at points throughout this story, and i reccomend this book to anybody who wants to read an amazing epic of a refugee who makes the best of life and graduates and accomplishes great things at harvard. The wide array of emotions that this book drives you to feel all at once, is almost too much to handle at certain climactic points. One of the greatest stories i have read in years, and i recommend this to anyone. This story in fact, reminds me of that great best-selling book The Color of Water.
