I was appalled be the treatment of the prisoners in the camp. Man’s inhumanity to others. In another sense, I was astonished by the kindness and love the prisoners Had for each other. A story of hate and love in which love prevails. The change in voices was well done except for the women’s voices.

I enjoyed the book very much, I was in high school and college during the war and remember the protests. I began to realize that the vets were not acknowledged when they returned home.so many alcoholics and drug abusers and suffering from PTSD and other illnesses. I did not know about the nurses in Nam. Although I love to watch MASH and knew there were women in Korea. I hcried throughout tha book any reasons. I’m happy women are being acknowledge today but we still have a long way to go.

This was a fascinating story. It speaks to resiliency of a young man who had an abusive life and how he rose above it. The love he had for his mother and abuelo and vice versa was his saving grace. I loved the narrator’s voice.

I loved the book. I learned much about the African culture. It was amazing how a single mother raised a boy to be a man and there was not many single mothers.The strength to survive of Maya Angelou amazed me. I could listen to her read forever.

I enjoyed the story especially the knowledge of Navajo customs. The narrator used different voices when telling the story. That was very interesting.

The story moved slowly. I did not realize that children were being separated from families still. I was aware of the separation after WWII with Asian families and present day separation at our borders. The bias and racism that continues today is scary. I enjoyed the narration.

The book was humorous, entertaining, and thought provoking. For me it was spiritual also, turning red lights into green lights, Matthew McConaughey has a superb voice. It was so easy to imagine the story and I was able to get lost in the story.
