Book Reviews of The Girl in the Picture: The Story of Kim Phuc, the Photograph, and the Vietnam War
Book Review: Fascinating story at several levels
Summary: 5 Stars
This is a wonderful book. It is interesting in the discussion of village life in Viet Nam during the war. It is also an interesting retelling of the physical, emotional, and spiritual journey of the little girl, so well known from the photo. The entire story of what happened to this little girl is quite readable and in fact inspirational. I did not find it to be sappy in any way, and in fact quite moving. I highly reccomend the book.
