I don’t often do book reviews, as I’m not very good at doing them, but the following is a book I felt like I had to talk about.
A couple of months ago, my auntie emailed my dad with a YouTube link pointing to an interview with Anita Moorjani. She’s written a book called Dying To Be Me. My dad forwarded me the link and I decided to click it and watch the video.
In the interview I heard Anita talk about her experience and at first, I wasn’t that interested in reading the book.

I remember reading several books at school, a few of which I thoroughly enjoyed and others, not so much.
I wouldn’t say that any of them changed my life. In fact, the ones I didn’t enjoy, I didn’t feel there was any need for it to be part of my education. They did very little to enrich my life.
Out of the ones I did enjoy were An Inspector Calls, Mindbenders by Nicolas Fisk and I also didn’t mind a bit of Shakespeare. I wasn’t a fan of Maya Angelou and there were others in similar genre’s that I had to read which truly bored the pants off me.
Do we really need to introduce children to the worst aspects of life in order to protect them from it? I’m not so sure I agree with that paradigm.
