Soul Surfer

Soul Surfer is an amazing movie, but I never knew that it was a book. I got the book and I am completely hooked. It is a biography by Betthany Hamilton. She is a great writer and is very descriptive. I like the book so much better than the movie because Betthany does a great job describing how she felt, which I couldn't see in the movie. Although the movie doesn't show her exact emotions, it does a good job sticking to what actually happened. Most movies that are based on a book over exxagurated or add on parts that didn't actually happen. As I was reading the book, I realized that everything that happened in it was showed in the movie, and not over exaggerated. The movie had a couple added scenes, but they made sense and fit Betthany lifestyle very well.
Betthany Hamilton is an amazing surfer that lives in Hawaii. She and her best friend Alana surf together a lot. One day, zbetthany went with Alana's family to surf. Betthany was attacked by a shark, and she described the attack very descriptively in the book. The book is all about how Betthany never gives up, even though she only has one arm. She never loses faith or confidence, which is very important. Overall, this book is amazing and I recommend reading it. It is great if you like biographys and realistic stories.
