review 1: I would recommend this book to anyone who has adopted from Russia, experienced a Russian orphanage or is interested in these subjects. Although John Lahutsky was handicapped, and therefore, presumably saw some of the worst of the Russian system, reading this book confirmed some of the things that I suspected and experienced when we adopted our son in 2005. It also documents the system and the process as it was at that time.
review 2: This book was so inspiring and the biggest eye-opener to me. I had heard of abuse such as this in other countries, but never in Russia. In fact, I could not put the book down as I was so hooked on making sure Vanya's guardian angel finally came. Part of this is the way the book was conducted, almost sometimes feeling like fiction... more.I still find it hard to believe that this book is so recent especially as little Vanya (or John) was born in 1990. That the torture and conditions he experienced were acceptable just 23 years ago! Vanya's hope throughout shows his amazing spirit, even after all the bad that was thrown at him and has left me sat here wondering what I can do to help those other children who weren't so fortunate. less
