review 1: This was our book club's November selection. It is the story of a little girl of 4 who was kidnapped from her backyard, then abandoned in the jungle of Colombia. We don't ever learn why she was abandoned, just that she was. Knowing that this is a true story, I empathized with her right away. She was obviously very bright to be able to survive and not just sit on the ground, cry and die. I was transported to the jungle with her, dealing with fear, creepy crawly things, hunger and loneliness. Her story is amazing, insightful, and so sad that she had to go through all that she did. She kept her innate goodness though, even though it was hidden when she had to survive on the streets. I like her. She is definitely a hero of mine. I am curious to read the sequel. I am sure she u... moresed all she learned from the monkeys in raising her own family.
review 2: Jeg synes historien var fortalt meget neutralt og helt uden store følelser. Hvilket fik mig til at føle, at der manglede noget. Selvfølgelig synes jeg, det er en meget oprørende og forfærdelige ting der beskrives i bogen, men jeg følte mig ikke følelsesmæssig involveret i historien. Hvilket jeg synes er meget mærkelig. Set i kontekst med at alt, hvad jeg ellers læser, der handler om børn i nød, normalt går lige i hjertet på mig. Jeg ville meget gerne give bogen flere stjerner, af sympati for forfatteren og hendes svære barndom, men jeg sidder tilbage med en meget tom fornemmelse. less
