First They Killed My Father: A Daughter of Cambodia Remembers (P.S.)
from Harper Perennial
Price: $11.16

Customer Review:

Wow, I was blown away by this book. Despite the virtually universal good reviews, this book sat on my desk for months. I wasn't sure I was up to reading about the horrors of Pol Pot. I have seen the pictures of the Killing Fields and read about it before.

Dawn Rooney writes with clarity, thoroughness and a balanced view of the monuments without talking down to (or over the head of) the reader.

I thought there were some very good creative writing skills employed in this autobiography yet this book leaves the reader with many questions.
