H&F submitted by bballbobtkd9 on August 27, 2011, 2:56pm This book has inspired me to do more with my life. It is very well written and makes you really understand some of the problems in the world. I would recommend this book to anyone and it should be a must read in grade school, but also should be read by adults.
