5.0 out of 5 stars
A modern classic of fiction for young people.,
By Rick Russell (Bowling Green, oh United States) - See all my reviews
This review is from: The Fallen Country (Paperback)
Like Rowling, Somtow writes children's literature without talking down to the reader. Far too many books for young people make the mistake of thinking that children can't understand what they read. Somtow let's the story unfold on it's own with out needing to censor reality. It's a pity that his work doesn't get the recognition that it deserves. Adding the original short story is a nice touch for this edition, but the novel is a true masterpiece.
5.0 out of 5 stars
a fine, uncompromising exploration of domestic violence,
By A Customer
This review is from: The Fallen Country (Paperback)
Although this is a children's book in format, the author doesn't pull any punches. I first read it in 1986. It's been out of print for a long time, but this edition has a cool "extra"; the original short story that the author expanded into the novel, which is written from the child counselor's viewpoint. It's a pretty searing book, but beautiful, too.
