Michael Oher hasn’t had an easy life. His mom is addicted to drugs and he doesn’t have money to eat or purchase clothing. He doesn’t have a home until a nice, wealthy family decides to take him in. He starts attending a nice school, (Briarcrest) and gets involved in sports. Michael surprises everyone and shows family is the most important thing to him.

I thought this novel was inspiring. I think the audience can relate to this book, it’s about feeling like you’ve hit rock bottom but keeping you head held high. I felt thankful for all my blessings after reading this. Once the story took off, I felt drawn and couldn’t put it down! I would recommend this book to someone else. I would also read another book by this author because he knows how to catch, and keep a readers attention.
