The Blind Side Book Review

Michael Lewis' book, The Blind Side, inspires me because of the character Michael Oher and his courageous character.

Most of the characters in this book are very inspiring. The main character Michael Oher came from a bad family. His mother was a crack-addict and his father was murdered. Despite all of that his has a great future ahead of him because of the Tuohy Family. Sean Tuohy is the father and he has a daughter that was in Michael's class. The Tuohy family ended up taking in Michael and feeding and clothing him.

A theme of this book would be to never give up. Michael Oher came from a family that was not your model family. He kept pushing on despite all of his hard times during his life. Great things came to him, like the Tuohy family. Michael broke free from the hard times and landed a great blessing.

This book relates to many issues in this world. There are kids even in Batesville that have a very similar background with the drugs and murders. There are kids all over the world that have druggie parents and can not help it. The kids just need guidance and inspiration and that is just what The Tuohy family did. That is just what some people need to step up and do.

I find the book, The Blind Side, by Michael Lewis a very good book. This book shows that when you think you are stuck and can not go anywhere there is always a way out. Sometimes this way out can lead to many great and inspirational things. There is also a Movie about this book called The Blind Side but the book is better.
