<p><span class="userContent">OK friends, order this book! I have the great honors of being a Freedom Writer Teacher and knowing Darrius (portrayed as Marcus in the movie) as a friend. I had the great privilege of being one Darrius' reviewers as he was completing this book. Both this book and Darrius were works in progress that turned out to very worthy of your interest and support.</span></p> <p>Dan Sackheim</p> <p> </p> <p> </p> <p><span class="readable"><span>Could not put it down - compelling and relevant. I was struck by the raw honesty of the struggle to survive against all odds. In this autobiography of his life (to this point) and the Freedom Writers "Experience", Darrius opens it up and speaks to souls of all ages. Having purchased a pre-release copy I have got to have a classroom set!!! Well done Darrius - your Mom is smiling and we are all proud of you!!!.</span></span></p> <p><a class="user" href="http://www.goodreads.com/user/show/21836940-sefakor-amaa" title="Sefakor Amaa">Sefakor Amaa</a></p>
