After seeing "Lion" several times I just had to read Saroo's story for myself. Autobiographies are true life stories and his is amazing. He has overcome obstacles that most of us would never dream of having to face. The fact that he was able to reunite with his family after such a long and arduous search is a testament to the human spirit. "Lion" should have won a few Oscars as the film was joyful, emotional and tearful. I highly recommend Saroo's story to all!

This is an absolutely amazing story about courage, hope, love and faith - not only Saroo's, but his birth and adoptive families. Saroo's remarkable recall about the details of his life in India. The book filled in the few gaps not mentioned in the movie, "Lion". Excellent - I read it in one evening!

A story of a little boy who never forgot where he came from and never gave up to find his way home. A real miracle and positive message on determination and courage. This story doesn't leave your heart and you can feel his desperation but following his instincts and his memory are very uplifting for the reader.

Really did not know what to expect. It shows life can change overnight. Also, children do not always do what they are told. One of the reasons he became lost is he did not follow his brother’s instructions.
