Unstoppable by Tim Green


Unstoppable by Tim Green was inspired by real life cancer survivors including his wife. The book shows how people can be brave in all situations. This book is about a young boy names Harrison. Harrison was a foster child that went from foster home to foster home. He was abused both physically and mentally. Harrison was driven to violent outrages. Harrison wad finally placed in a loving foster home where all his dreams of becoming an NFL player could come true. But when he gets hit in the eye, that causes him to kill that person. Which later gets kicked out of the foster home.

Later in one of Harrisons games he was playing really great and then by the end he got hit in the knee and it was hurting him but he thought all the pain would go away. So the next game he played he was playing ok. It was because of that knee that was hurting him. He kept playing then. In that game Harrison got hit in the same knee he got rushed to the hospital and after some test he found out he got cancer on his left knee. They had to take us leg from the knee down and he got a fake leg. And he still liked the game of football he played with that leg and became the greatest football player in the NFL and became famous.

A quote they said to harrison alot was " tough luck" and what that means is life was hard for him and just to say tough luck is hard with no parents and living in a foster home. he became something great because he showed courage and he was brave.

How this book plays a role in my life is i am a football player to and want to become the best.but to show courage and be brave like harrison is a better football player and i want to become like harrison too . I really liked this book because it tells a good message. And anyone that likes football or sports should read this book for sure.

  1. I have never read this book but It sounds really interesting. It sounds like he had a really tough childhood that no person should ever go through. It is good to see him still chase after his dream even though he had to get a new leg.
