I love Bethany Hamilton! I love her story. I thought it was a wonderful true story about her getting back on the board and keep trying. Nice job Bethany!

Although I haven't read the book, I saw the movie. One of the best things about the movie is that, as you see with the home video footage they show during the credits, they took actually moments (example: Bethany's brother helping her put her hair up) and re-filmed it with the actors. Bethany Hamilton is so inspirational! If you just heard about her, you mightnot even believe it was true. It's amazing what happened to her, and how well she recovered. Go Bethany!

love this book its inspiring..love the movie too!! (James O'connor's awesome)

Just watched the movie..WOW, cant wait to read the book :)

I loved this book. Bethany is one of my role models- she's an amazing Christian girl! Yes, it's the same as the movie but has all the brilliant Christian stuff! I love Bethany's story- it's amazing and it inspires me! I'm reading this again (I've read it many times before the movie too) and looooove it! It has been reprinted so that there are new pictures and stuff... Great. The thing I DONT like is that it's not Bethany on the cover. :P
