A fraud, however charming - By: , 20 Aug 1999 
A book that purports to be a true story should tell the truth. In this version of the story, poor Sadako pops off before finishing a thousand cranes. In reality, she did over 1300 & still died. I think that's a much more moving story & points out there is no panacea for the horror of atomic weapons. You can see some of the cranesin the A-bomb museumin Hiroshima.
