3.0 out of 5 stars A fraud, however charming, 20 Aug 1999
By A Customer
This review is from: Sadako and the Thousand Paper Cranes (Hardcover)
A book that purports to be a true story should tell the truth. In this version of the story, poor Sadako pops off before finishing a thousand cranes. In reality, she did over 1300 and still died. I think that's a much more moving story and points out there is no panacea for the horror of atomic weapons. You can see some of the cranes in the A-bomb museum in Hiroshima.

5.0 out of 5 stars The touching story of one girl's battle with cancer., 17 April 1999
By A Customer
This review is from: Sadako and the Thousand Paper Cranes (Hardcover)
Readers from the very young to the very old will be moved by Sakako's battle with leukemia. Her story reminds us of why we must work towards peace. It is a story of hope.
