This book is very eye-opening to the true nature of the great tragedy that is the Cambodian genocide. The way this book is written expands the impact with its extremely well-written and gut-wrenching imagery. The young age of Loung puts a small damper on getting the full picture of what was really going on and the visions that the young loung has, makes me question things a bit, but other than that I think this book is really good on expanding your knowledge and awareness of this terrible event in Cambodian history.
