Review: Never give up! - Bethany is an inspiration to all! I'm glad I got this book and not the original. In this book she goes behind the scenes of her movie "Soul Surfer". At the end of the book she keeps a journal of the whole movie experience. From picking out the actors to the day the movie was released. It's so awesome to see whole process! I love how she was so open about her faith and just laid it out black and white, plain and simple. Even while filming the movie she would constantly tell the director(Sean McNamara) to keep her faith as the main focus of the movie. Not only did she want to be a inspiration to the world but she wanted to do it through Jesus Christ. This is a book for all ages. Even if she wrote this as a teenager she has the maturity and wisdom that goes way beyond that. I'm 22 years old and I found this book so compelling. I could not put it down! I to am a Christian and in this world we live in it so easy for girls to sell themselves out, especially being in Hollywood. Bethany said in her book that she wants to continue to stay humble and be a good example to young girls out there, even after being famous. How cool is that! Not only has this surfer shown how talented and ambitious she is but, she got to show the world that with Jesus all things are possible! Thanks Bethany! :)
Review: Over too soon - I saw the movie, but it just seemed like the real story would be even more interesting. I'm not too good about reading the books I've bought, but an audio book hit the spot as I can listen to this during my commute instead of mindless DJ chatter. I was right about there being more to the story, and I really enjoyed it. The audio book also includes updates from Bethany about the process of making the movie and her interactions with the people involved. I think these are the notes that are included in the "movie tie-in" version of the paperback. The only "complaint" I have is that the woman they chose to do the reading is obviously older than the person whose voice she represents. I'm not sure how old the reader is, but she sounds like she's at least in her 20's. Most of the time it's not an issue, but someone who sounded closer to Bethany's age would have been better. The "over too soon" refers to the relatively short duration (4 cd's, so about four hours total). Still a great purchase overall and highly recommended.
