I'd have to say that the book was very interesting, although deeply depressing. I felt like the author was certainly believable, and wrote like she was actually living it at the time. However, I felt like it was almost too much to be true, or at least to believe. I kept having to remind myself that this had actually happened. I guess it reminded me of books about the Holocaust in that way.

Posted for Dean--"I agree with you, Emma, but I find that I agree far more with Nell's standpoint on the matter. I think when you read the book it is very hard to get around how gripping the idea of genocide is, yet, at the times when I see that the book has strayed into something that is more depressing than gripping, it really emerges that Ung has contorted the message to make it overtly depressing. To me, that takes away from her ethos quite a bit when I view something as contrived rather than passionate. "
