He sees a group of children awoken and possibly abducted-he then flees and has no idea what happened to them. Saroo strongly suspects a railway worker introduced him to a friend who had other intentions in mind. Eventually he begins surviving on the streets, digging for scraps, hanging out with other groups of children, occasionally begging and finding the occasional kindness of strangers. However, not all people are nice. He tries to find his way back via taking various trains, but he has no idea where he's from or how to get home. The video understandably makes it a big deal that he used Google to find it, but this book is more about his journey from his hometown and back again. Saroo survives on the streets for a time (few weeks or months), which I found incredible considering he was only 5-6 years old. It turns out that Saroo would use the technology of Google Maps and Earth (as well as Facebook and the internet in general) to locate his hometown and eventually his family. However, this journey with his brother will forever change his life. I had first heard of his story via a Google Earth/Maps video. He is from a poor family in India, has had no formal schooling and is basically learning how to survive like many of his neighbors and fellow Indians. At the age of about 5, Saroo Brierley goes off with his older brother on an adventure. Review 2: One man's journey to finding his biological family. I found out at the very end of the book on one of the last pages after the epilogue there is indeed a map of India-be adv. The entire time I read this book I was wishing there was a map of India included to show me where in India Brierly was focusing on. There are moments when Brierly bogs us down a bit with the tedious details of his searching for his home town and again for the train line that took him away, but overall the book is very interesting. In this memoir, Brierly takes us through his impoverished childhood, the fateful train ride, his subsequent adoption by an Australian couple and then his return to India at age 30.
