Rated 5 of 5 of 5 by Fiona Marquis-Kyle
This was simply the most moving non fiction I have read in years. I was enthralled throughout; there were no lulls in the narrative.

Rated 5 of 5 of 5 by Kaitlyn
I thought this was book was great! I had to read it for a Grade 12 University English class for an ISU and it was definitly a good read! Thanks Geraldine Brooks!

Rated 5 of 5 of 5 by Denise Marie
This was a fabulous book. I had to read it for a History class in college and I couldn't put it down. I refuse to sell it back to the bookstore!!!

Rated 5 of 5 of 5 by Annie
A wonderful book skillfully written and a page turner.
The characters were well fleshed out, and aroused sympathy- even the cruel ones. Although one basically knew what was going to happen, one was intrigued to see how it would unfold. Overall it is an optimistic story although the details are harrowing at times. The ending was unrealistic and I would have to mark it down for that. The rest of the book was supurb.

Rated 2 of 5 of 5 by brad
its ok but becomes very boring in places and is far too descriptive

Rated 5 of 5 of 5 by Kristen
