Why read it?
1 author picked Saved as one of their favorite books. Why do they recommend it?
Saved is a remarkable story of Benjamin Hall’s recovery after surviving a horrific injury in the middle of war.

His story is full of raw, intense, and dangerous moments told more thrillingly than any book of fiction.
