Yes, some...Very powerful and honest review, Becky. Yes, some folks find it a difficult read - many parts were difficult to write. I think your warnings were accurate and I'd like to reiterate that the book is really more for adults and older, more mature teens. <BR/><BR/>One thing I'd like to clarify: I used the phrase "black as dirt" because it is a common Haitian put-down. "The devil himself" would be a more usual description (and certainly an accurate one!) but it would not be culturally accurate and not something the non-English speaking mother would say. I'm glad you brought up that phrase, though, as I knew it would be a touchy one yet your review is the only one I've come across thus far that has pointed it out.<BR/><BR/>I wish you continued happy reading!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-33553028.post-3958672338067413612007-10-12T21:01:00.000-05:002007-10-12T21:01:00.000-05:00I don't think this is my kind of book but that is ...I don't think this is my kind of book but that is one of the most powerful openings I have ever read.Camillehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10422449200792287901noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-33553028.post-66116802442643087272007-10-12T07:27:00.000-05:002007-10-12T07:27:00.000-05:00Thanks for this review, Becky.

But I do know it's one I'll steer my daughter away from, at least until she's a little older.Debihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15429881953804634592noreply@blogger.com
