Josh's Review

I liked the book because it was exciting, and it gave real examples of people helping others. The stories in the book are all very exciting because they tell about real people who risk their lives to save others. The book also talked about the Carnegie Hero Fund, an organization that recongnizes herosim by awarding medals to people. I think it is good that people recognize how much it means to save another person's life. I would very much reconmmend this book to anyone because it is not a book that just a few people can enjoy but it has stories that everyone can enjoy too. It is also interesting to read what some of the heros say years later about their acts. I also hope that more people get to read this book soon.
