Soul Surfer

I finished a great book called "Soul Surfer" by Bethany Hamilton. The genre of this book is nonfiction. I chose this book because it was recommended to me by a friend.
In the book, Bethany Hamilton has a goal to train for the competition and have a fun time with friends. Bethany is a surfer. She has a dream of becoming a professional surfer and strives for that. Sadly, her dreams collapse when she gets attacked by a shark on October 31, 2003. Even though the dream collapses on her, she doesn't! She stays strong through it and fights her way out of every problem and situation. She has a lot of obstacles along every turn and chance she takes but her faith keeps her going on in life. Having only one arm doesn't ruin her life! It only tells her that its time to make everyday worth another and to do something in life.
Two things that I liked about the book is that it was a real event. Another thing that i like about that book is that it is religious. The age group it is appropriate for is 10+. The reading level it is acceptable for it 4/10. I would recommend it to a friend. A person that would like this book is a sports fan.
