 My Brother, My Sister, and I October 28, 2007
1 out of 2 found this review helpful
This is the book about the story followed by "So far from Bamboo Grove." I recommend these books to everyone, who are interested in history, especially about WWII. There are always hidden stories behind wars. Not so many people can report what really happened.
A little girl could survive from the horrible war. She and her siblings lived strongly without their parents. No money, no food... I could not waste food after I had read this book.
We need to learn love and trust of this family.

 An everyday yet new lesson taught December 3, 2006

From this book My brother, My sister and I, I learnt quite a lot, though a lot of the dialogue seems to be cold and unnatural, the theme is the most important part of it. In this book the orphans Hideyo, Ko and Yoko squeeze through all the hard times and find new ways of over coming these things. In the end, the three of them find a special someone who may not look the same but is the same person, they live happily ever after (at least for now)

Possibly not fiction October 10, 2005
6 out of 17 found this review helpful
I read this book several years ago and could hardly put it down until I finished it. I wrote to the publisher to ask if this book was fiction, but I got no reply. I had the impression in reading it that is was not fiction, and yet the words 'fictionalized' and 'novel' are used for it on Amazon. I was curious to know what is fiction in it and what is not.
I differ with some reviewers criticizing the book's language or style. There is nothing wrong with either, as I recall. Nor is the book only for children or "young readers" by any means.
