This book is superb. The use of imagery in the books makes you feel as if you've been thrown into the book yourself...you can see, feel, smell, and hear it all. Highly recommended book.

I read this book because there was a debate on whether or not it would be added into the local high school's curriculum and so I decided that I would like to see why people would have an objection to it. It is by far an excellent book with a strong message and I strongly recommend reading it. You won't be able to set this book down!

Read this true-to-life story of survival, and see how awareness can build hope. The feelings you'll get reading about these characters are reminiscent of reading Toni Morrison

I wanted to read this book because I saw the movie a long time ago and it was quite good. The book was very interesting. I didn't like the ending too much but not all stories have a happy ending.

Wonderful book. It's a moving story because it's so well written. Really. It's great.
