The Challenge: 'Read for a good cause! Buy books at a charity shop, or, even a friends of the library book sale, or, donate a certain percentage of money for each book you read for the challenge. You can choose your own goal of how many books to read, what charity you'll be donating money towards, how much money, etc.'
The full rules can be found on Becky's Book Reviews here.

Title: Born on the Fourth of July (UK Click Here - US Click Here)Author: Ron Kovic
Price: £0.25
Charity Helped: Local cause - sale to help a local child with medical care and equipment.
My Thoughts:
This is a non-fiction book detailing Ron Kovic's experiences as a Vietnam veteran; there is also a film of the book, starring Tom Cruise, of the same name.
Born on the Fourth of July is one of those books that everyone needs to read simply because it is a snapshot of history, and a testament to the uncomfortable truths that we need to remind ourselves of, and never let the world forget.
