Book Review: Chinese Cinderella

Twisted. Cruel. Horrid, was all I could think as I flashed through this book. There were things in there that made my insides curl up. No, it wasn't because off horrable writing styles, but the thing that made me want to crumple up and hurl was the repolsive things the man characters wicked step-mother did her. The vivid details made it seem as if I was that little unwanted child who's own father had sent her off to a place at war, who's favorite pet was torn to shreds infront of her, it was so crule so horrible. I couldn't stand watching little Adeline Yen Mah get slapped by her step-mother just because her friends threw her a suprise party for becoming class president. Despite the fact that revolting things take place in this book it is still a great read. I would recomend it only to people who like to cry... alot because this child's life is so... horrible. Putting that fact away though I did love the book, and it left me with an uplifting feeling like I could push through it as long as Adeline could.
