tom2k4u's Review of Adeline Yen Mah, Chinese Cinderella: The True Story of an Unwanted Daughter

16th Apr 2004

Overall Rating

Value for money

Good Points

Brings so many emotions towards you. You feel lucky that you are not brought up into a family like Adelines. And the thought of Niang sends shivers down you back!

Bad Points

In my opinion the only bad point about the book was that it 'twittered on' in some places but overall, very good!

General Comments

As I said, Adeline Yen Mah, Chinese Cinderella: The True Story of an Unwanted Daughter is a sad story, and I'm not going to give the punch line! In the front of the book in the author's comments she explained 'it was painful to write this' and I could imagine all the events that happened in the story were true and happened to her! I would recommend it to 10 year olds or over because there is often Chinese names that I myself found hard to pronounce! Overall one of the best books I have read!
