Format:Hardcover
The book is well written, the prose accessible and the plot engaging. As a previous reviewer notes, the subject matter is hard reading, but the characters are plausible and you do end up rooting for them. I would recommend this book to anyone who wants a novel that engages you from the first page to the last. It ignores common day mass produced 'twists and turns' in plot(i.e. Dan Brown, James Patterson etc)to deliver an emotionally thought provoking read that captures your imagination vividly. You won't regret reading this book.
Format:Hardcover
Corban Addison, has written a thought provoking thriller with totally believable characters who you are concerned about from the start as it's not clear how they will, (or even if they will) escape their fate. The story is about global trade in human being all over the world and takes you to places or situations, we should all be grateful we will never experience for real , he also exposes that this does not only go on in third world countries but is probable going on under our noses in our own cities. This book was recommended to me it a beautiful story with an important message it deserves a wide readership. Although I believe its Corban Addison first book I would put it up for any of the major book prizes. If I've still not convinced you to read this book then read what John Grisham says about this book...
Format:Hardcover|Amazon Verified Purchase
This book is quite disturbing and I felt I needed to read it, however, it's not the best book I've ever read as far as literary works go but I'm am grateful to Corban Addison for the time and effort it must have taken in order to document these terrible happenings...I do hope his book is widely read so as to alert more people to the suffering of children in this way.
