Amazing book
This book shines light on a neglected problem in our day- the trafficking and bondage of women in many parts of the world. Nicolas Kristof and Sheryl WuDunn travel throughout Asia and Africa to meet with women who have been caught in the modern slave trade in women and discuss their ordeals, From child trafficking and prostitution to honor killings and maternal mortality, the authors show that women in parts of the developing world are still treated as disposable. Instead of being depressing, however, the book is uplifting and inspiring- they tell stories of women who have escaped their captors and are making a difference for others. Amazing book!

Family of Fighters
Family of Fighters Firehouse By David Halberstam Four Stars Firehouse is a heartbreaking book of compelling quality that keeps you turning page after page. David Halberstam writes an emotional account about the lives of the thirteen firefighters sent out to fight 9/ll by Engine 40, Ladder 35. This book is a great way to honor those who made the ultimate sacrifice to save the innocent victims of 9/11. Only one of the thirteen men sent out survives. Halberstam gives backgrounds and information about the men as told by their family, friends, and fellow firefighters. At many times during the book, he switches telling their stories from before, during, and after 9/11. He tells about their family, and how they react on that fateful day. By the end of the second chapter you feel like you've known these men all your life, and by the end of the book you are sobbing your eyes out over their deaths. Throughout the book, there is a recurring theme of brotherhood. These firefight...

this book is touching and unforgetable
Reading Firehouse, by David Halberstam, sparks all kinds of emotions. He tells sad stories, funny stories, happy stories, and a lot of inspiring stories. But they are not his stories. They are the stories of 12 men from Engine 40 Ladder 35 in New York City. The 12 men were firemen who died in the September 11th attack in 2001. David writes the book from his point of view but with all the stories from the men’s coworkers and family members. He and his family had lived down the street from the fire station when he was little. He was an outsider looking in on what all these people will never forget. These people were the only way the men will be remembered. David puts all the memories into a book that will touch your heart as you flip through the pages. Firehouse was a very well-written book. But, David left out a few details while writing. He could have added more quotes from the coworkers and family members instead of turning everything they said into a story about the men. There wer...
