Book Review of The Awakening of H.K. Derryberry: My Unlikely Friendship with the Boy Who Remembers Everything

BeckyWalker avatar reviewed on + 120 more book reviews


This was a beautiful insightful book about friendship, and how it can become the greatest treasure between two unlikely people. I greatly enjoyed reading about HK and Jim, and the bond they forged. I feel this was one of the purest relationships I've ever read about. There were no assumptions made between the two, no expectations, no regrets, and no hidden agendas. If only everyone in the world could approach relationships like that. The parts about HK's incredible memory was just a bonus.
