A Kid's Review

This review is from: Love Always, Petra (Hardcover)

I loved this book! It was really hard to put it down at night so I usually fell asleep with it in my hands. I appriciate a lot more that I have in my life now that I read this book. Petra is a good role model. She's been through a lot and if you read this book you will agree that she has a lot of courage.

This review is from: Love Always, Petra (Hardcover)

This book is a must read. It's written really well by Petra Nemcova, the beautiful supermodel caught in the tsnami tradgedy almost a year ago. It recalls everything from her life before hitting the big time, and her relationship with her photographer boyfriend who unfortunately perished in Thailand. It's moving and gripping and you'll shed a tear. She's one brave girl. She was even told that she may never walk again. Go get this and read it. You won't be able to put it down. It will make you appreciate the gifts in your life that you should be grateful for.

This review is from: Love Always, Petra (Hardcover)

I admire Petra for her courage that she has since the tsunami tragedy in Thailand. In the book she discusses this but she also lets us in on her life through the Czech Repulbic with the communist rule. Her parents and sister and her modelling career. She is very sincere and honest. This is a great book. I love it very much. It's also very easy to read. By the end of the night I was more than half way through the book.
