review 1: An incredible, compelling read! I can not say more. Powerful. Unforgettable. Hala Jaber paints beautiful heart-breaking portraits of children and families who have lost a great deal, if not everything, during the Iraq war. She takes us into the lives of fearless, selfless journalists, volunteer workers, and doctors, who try at great risk to themselves to help the innocents devistated by war in Iraq. Beautiful. Heart-wrenching.
review 2: The jacket says, "a heartrending story." My heart was rended. It is a very touching, beautiful story that kept me in tears for much of it. A lot of sad things happen in the book, and personally, I try to avoid books that are depressing. To be fair, not a lot of feelgood stories come out of Iraq. And depressing isn't the rig... moreht word, because depressing sounds defeatist, and the book does have something inspirational to offer about surviving and loving even when surrounded by much evil, death, and seeming senselessness. The only reason I didn't give it a 5 is because I had a hard time relating to the author's struggle with whether she wanted to adopt. But if I say more, I will give too much away. less
