Picture Bride: A Novel by Yoshiko Uchida by Yoshiko Uchida
2.0
This book reads more like an autobiography/biography written by a non-writer. Simplistic dialogue (and I don't just mean formal conversations between characters, but ALL of it), simplistic thoughts, simplistic explanations, simple sentences.
This topic is not new to me, I grew up in the bay area and was surrounded by people who had been interred or their parents had been (one of my mother's best friends from childhood on was born in a camp). And this book is soooo simplistic.
I actually think this would be a pretty decent YA book--the only reason it got 2 stars and not 1. Easy read, not too long, and (without double checking) the timeline is correct. No excessive violence/gore, etc etc. Would not be bad for an 8th grade history class.
