Everything Sad is Untrue (a true story) Book Review: The book “Everything Sad is Untrue (a true story)” by Daniel Nayeli is a realistic fiction book following the story of Khosrou (Daniel) and his experiences in his life as a refugee from Iran. The story follows Daniel and his family as they seek refuge in Oklahoma amidst war in Iran and it divulges into aspects of life such as religion, family issues, not fitting in with society, and foreign culture. “Every story is the sound of a storyteller begging to stay alive.” is a popular quote from the book said by the main character Khosrou which shows how serious life is for a child who is a refugee. In my opinion, this book is very inspiring and heartfelt as it follows a good role model for young children who might be facing the same hardships as Khosrou and it definitely deserves a read.
