review 1: One of the saddest books I've ever read. At times you see things on tv about the Russian/Romanian orphanages and you never realize it is STILL like that. These kids are left to rot where their only way out if they don't (and it's not likely) get adopted, is the morgue. I'm sure Jon is doing remarkable now as he always has. Well written book, and had it not been for Sarah and Vike especially, he probably would have been left to rot like many of the other kids.
