review 1: It's not well written. There's no plot. Some stories told earlier in the book are repeated later. But it is a heartwarming patchwork of stories of women and children and the sense of community and family they are creating in rural Cambodia. You will be inspired by the stories of the poorest of the poor and their resilience as they overcome struggles with poverty, HIV, and loss to create a place of healing, love and compassion.
review 2: Gail Gutradt's sensitive and thought-provoking work took me to another world and back again. I felt as if I knew each child she spoke of as well as Wayne Matthys, the man who has given everything to make their lives better. I was especially moved by the author's honesty and humility. While this book is uplifting and heart-warmi... moreng, it is not a fairy tale story. It tackles the tough issues of volunteering and what it means to love. If you're looking for a book that will touch you deeply and make you question your own motivations and decisions, In a Rocket Made of Ice is for you. less
