The Shot Not Heard Around the World

BOOK REVIEW: The Shot Not Heard Around the World by Charlie Damitz

There are very few books that have the power to captivate the readers from the beginning to the end. ‘The Shot Not Heard Around the World’ penned by Charlie Damitz is one such book. The protagonist of the story Jeremy won my heart immediately. His compassion made me realize that we shouldn’t hurt any human even if it’s your enemy. 

Jeremy decided that he would help in a war by giving medical treatment to the patients. He also helped an enemy named Roger and took him to Doc Thorndike for medical attention even though he was at the risk of being called a traitor. Jeremy’s humanity would make us question if we think about the other human as he did in this story. 

The story is well paced and there are no dull moments in it. The characters are likable and written nicely by the author. Through this book, readers would realize the importance of compassion, empathy, non-violence, mentorship, serving others, etc. Novella fans should get their hands on this book. Highly recommended.

Rating: 5/5
