Title: Rated R for scenes of graphic violence
Review: I was horrified to discover that my 10 year old daughter had found this book in the juvenile section (under 12) of our public library. She was halfway through the book when I realized what it was about. I am upset with myself that I have not been more diligent to look at what she is reading. While well-written, honest, and thought-provoking this book has graphic scenes of rape and murder that even many adults would find troubling. There are also several references that the US Gov't had trained, armed, and basically knew but did nothing about these genocides and of American citizens one quote is "Most Americans don't know what their government does. Most don't want to know." I do believe that as citizens of a free & priviledged country we have a responsibility to find out about and try to right wrongs - however not all Americans are this callous. I could say more, but will leave it at that.
Is the review positive or negative?
