Book Review... I am David..

Just finished reading this book called "I am David".. is written by Anne Holm and is written orginally in Danish ... so what is so interesting about this book?... well i tot it teaches some values that adults should know though the story is intended for children.. is a book that deserves reading and understanding and as good as "To kill a mocking bird" which is another book that I really like..

Back to "I am David".. is about a boy's adverture after his escape from his concentration camp in Greece to Denmark.. His strong resolute to remain true to himself no matter what circumstances he is faced with .. his struggle against evil and his hatred of evil and brutal force.. is a story of a 12 yrs old boy that is brought up in the concentration camp, his education from this man call Johannes, his refusal to call the man by his name, freedom to do what he wants, freedom to associate with whom he chooses to and his friendship with the sheepdog .. along the way he learns to trust his existence and to live to see beautiful things around him but then he also nearly gives up in the end. However with the fateful meeting of this Danish lady in Switzerland, David learns he has a mother and a goal to reach. David learns to smile when he saves a little gal called Maria and he taught her to be brave just as he is .. he learns that some time people are not evil, they are simply stupid, stupid to not see that force or the use of it is not correct.. he also learns to trust people and he is always polite in watever circumstances as this is what Johannes always tot him to.

There are a couple of worthy quotes from the books.. of which i will quote some here..

"... you must always hate what was evil or else you grew just like them..."

".. It is important not to give in to people who love violence and think they have the right to take away another man's life and liberty. And if you don't let them change what you think and believe, then you have won."

".. if I hit you back, I'd be no better than you are. I 'd be just as rotten and worthless, and I'd have no right to be free."

" .. All suffering has an end.. if only you wait long enough... Sorrow has its life just like people. Sorrow is born and lives and dies. And when it's dead and gone, someone's left behind to remember it. Exactly like people."

Is really cool book!! rated 5 stars.. gonna use this for the Future Division book review for this sunday general meeting!!..
