5.0 out of 5 stars The best book I have read in my life!!, 17 Nov 2001
By A Customer
This book has a gripping view of the war taken from a ten year old boy about the war between Japan and the U.S.A. The boy lived with his family in China, Shanghai when the war started, he gets separated from his family and tries to reunite again. I find it the best British novel about the second world war. It tells you about how people are treated by the enemy and how they forget everything including there manners, friends and any relationships as they struggle to live. J.G.Ballard has his own magical way in writing tragic books. He uses lots of amazing vocabulary to interest you. A summary of what I have written now is that in my opinion I find the book an unputdownable book.
