Soul Surfer

Hi All!
 So, It was my goal to read the book "Soul Surfer" during spring break before I saw the new movie. I got is yesterday evening, and I'm hooked. I'm already more than halfway done! I love it! I would highly suggest it! But what's weird to me is that I'm terrified of sharks, but I am really interested in this book and this movie, and, come to think of it, I've been really curious about sharks too!  What's that I hear? you don't know the story of "Soul Surfer"? Well, let me explain. You might not have heard of "Soul Surfer", but have you heard of Bethany Hamilton? The book is based on her amazing life story! So, here she was, living a normal life in Hawaii, winning surfing contests left and right, LOVING the waves and the ocean, when suddenly, one day, she was the victim of a 15ft Tiger shark. She lost her arm. But, she didn't let that obstacle get in her way, nor the fear of sharks. She went back to surfing! She learned to do things without her arm and persevered towards her goal. I won't tell too much, but I totally think you should read it! I was, at first, scared to read it because I absolutely HATE HATE sharks! But, It's such a fabulous book! I would highly suggest it! Read it! Now! Here is the link for the preview of the movie! http://www.youtube.com/user/SoulSurfer4811?v=MWeOjBCi3c4&feature=pyv&ad=10080872494&kw=soul%20surfer
