Very Good, but one Complaint - By: , 25 Jun 1999 
I loved this book so much, next to Walk Two Moons by Sharon Creech, & the sequel to it, Chasing Redbird, Children of the River was my favorite book. I had to read it for school & usually I hate to be forced to read. I hate having a deadline, but I just could not put this book Down!!! I got burried so deep into it, I felt like I was there! I felt for the characters. The only complaint I had was that I wish that the author had given me a better ending! She left me hanging! I wanted to know more about what happened to her parents & sisters & brothers! I was left unfufilled & curious, & I was disappointed. In all other aspects though, I loved it!!!
Very Good When Read More Than Once - By: , 20 Jun 1999 I will tell you the truth. I did not like the book at first. I was assigned it for a summer reading coursein preparation for the 8th grade. But two years later i have actually sat downin my spare time to really read the book. I thouroghly enjoyed it this time. So give this book a chance. You may not put it down.
A VERY excellent book - By: , 09 Mar 1999 
I liked this book very much. It was very sad & romantic at the same time. I am also Cambodian but I did not know of the culture (because I was bornin America) until I read this book. Anyway, I liked this book very much!
