The Tenth was a pretty emotional story, and a sad one at that. The characters and situations very very realistic, in my opinion.Oh my gosh--what would I do I were in the same situation as ten-year old Danny. I'd go nuts for sure. And to be stuck in a hospital for so long, operation after operation? How does one go from spending quality time with their family to suddenly losing limbs, a relative, and  being stuck in a hospital bed? Such a nightmare.This story is told from Danny's point of view, which was an excellent idea. It makes the story more personal.If it were me, I'd be confused--Why me??? Why MY family? What did I do to deserve this???I'd be angry, I'd be sad, I'd be hurting.I'd feel like a prisoner stuck in a never-ending hell.This story was good. It touched me. It makes me upset because although this story may be fictional, I know that there are people in this world who have ended up in the middle of a terrorist attacks. Personally, I've never known anyone close to me that have experienced such a thing, but there are people out there who have.This story made me think about my own life. It made me feel more appreciative of what I do have.I think that more stories like this need to be read. It may not be easy for everyone to read this type of story, especially someone who can relate to such an event, but no, we do not live in a perfect world. These things do happen.Cherish what you do have. Live life to the fullest. Spend time with the ones that you love and tell them that you love them. Don't take the good things/people in your life for granted.The author did a great job--excellent story.Yes, I am glad that I read this book and yes, I recommend.
