Oh buddy.

I know exactly why this book exists. Because Mr. Hernandez acted heroically at an exceptionally young age. He is a role model for marginalized young folks. He's a kid to watch out for.

But he's also a 22-year-old. There are very rare circumstances where 22-year-olds have lived long enough to merit a readable memoir. This is not one of those 22-year-olds.

5 stars for Mr. Hernandez. 3 for the book.

This is the story of Daniel Hernandez, a gay, Latino intern who may very well have saved Gabby Giffords's life when she was shot in Tucson in 2011.

A memoir by the 20 year old intern who saved Congresswoman Gabby Gifford's life on January 6, 2011. This young man has his head on straight and I would be surprised to see him as a state and eventually national political figure.
