This story brought the new generation back into the old generations world and realized nothing had really changed. Story within another story. Well written. I thoroughly enjoyed this book.

5,0 su 5 stelle Haunting story, leaves you wanting more...
Recensito negli Stati Uniti il 25 maggio 2014
Acquisto verificato
I'm giving this a 5 star as I enjoyed it so much and couldn't put it down and despite sharing some of the criticisms of other reviews!

The story is hauntingly beautiful and plays out well enough. Some people don't like the back and forth from the past to present; but it didn't bother me. The bounce between time frames actually mirrored off of each other quite nicely - a scene with Richard in Cambodia, blends into a scene with Michael during his discovery of who his father really was. The dream sequences that were woven throughout were sadly beautiful at the same time and tied some things together in a rich way.

There were admittedly quite a few typos, missing words and wrongly placed punctuation - but it was easy enough to figure out what it should have been.

SPOILER ALERT:
Most reviewers who rated the book with less stars, did so mostly for the same reasons, which I share to an extent. The story is an incredibly beautiful story of a man coming into his own in retracing his father's steps trying to find him, while discovering and learning what a hero his father really was. I felt drawn to each of the characters and really wish more development of each personality and their background was provided. Fleshing out a lot more of the story would have made this a hand's down classic. Several points that really bugged me were
- not having Michael's childhood and present more detailed, he wants a book signed to his daughter but you don't know that he's married, let alone has a kid until that point
- it touched on a love-story between Richard and Marion, but left me hanging as it was unrequitted
- clearly after her experience in the jungle, Marion quits being a nun, but having that developed more would help to explain the priests denial of sacraments
- the end left me hanging wanting more, like after Marion and the trader got back to the monument the story kinda quits and then jumps to them unburying Richard's remains, you assume obviously that Marion got the girls out to safety and by their professions they turned out incredibly well for children who'd been sold by parents to be sex slaves - but how'd they grow up and choose their professions in relation to the sacrifice Richard made to save them?
- again, the end isn't an end... maybe there's a sequel which will delve further into each of the characters and continue into their reunion to properly bury Richard in AZ?

I loved the story, the idea of it, the tribute to fallen soldiers, the coming into his own of the child raised with a MIA father, the sacrifices they make and the good that comes from it as in this story; but developing the characters and details within the story would have made it from just a great book to an all time classic like "Pillars of the Earth"!

I got this free from Book Bub and see that it's been re-edited and re-released. I hope they addressed some of the errors; but would love to see a longer, fully developed re-write of the entire story!

4,0 su 5 stelle A touching and heroic story
Recensito nel Regno Unito il 8 gennaio 2014
Acquisto verificato
This book covers a lot of ground, from the original author of The Glass Girls who had been kidnapped and subjected to sexual assault, to her son, a soldier in the Vietnam, and to his son who never knew him but knows the story of the Glass Girls from his grandfather.

It is by pure chance that Michael in the present day learns about what happened to his father thanks to the publication of the story of The Glass Girls. He travels to Europe to assist at a book-signing by the author and is drawn into the world of four women who claim his father rescued them and saved their lives.

Michael at last learns what happened to his father who it was believed deserted his unit to the shame of his family. His journey to Vietnam to recover the body of his father with the women is a voyage of discovery of himself and his father.

This is a touching story of simple heroism, of a soldier who could not bear to leave five little girls to their terrible fate in the sex trade, but who was never able to explain either to his unit or his family what he had done and was thus judged and dismissed as a deserter.

The story is beautifully told, the characters well drawn and believable, and the dialogue is excellent. There is lots of action in the jungle, and I love the resourcefulness of Richard, Michael's dad, as he tries to save the girls and keep them safe and fed. It turns out he was a fine man, with the best intentions, a dad to be proud of in fact.

Lovely story.

Good story that keeps you interested. I found the over usage of commas distracting but it might not be as big a deal for others.
