Never
Fall Down

Genre: YA Historical fiction

Published: 2012
Read: April
4 out of 5
The more I read the more I realize I really
enjoy historical fiction. This novel is based on true events and the majority
is indeed nonfiction (as noted in author's note), but some details were enhanced
by her own imagination. I, once again,
learned more on our world's (horrific) history which as tragic as this story is
I enjoy actually learning while reading. My favorite aspect was the author's
ability to write using the authentic voice of Arn Chorn-Pond; it enhanced the
realism of Arn's story. I was disappointed that his story starts in 1975 and is
considered historical fiction - reality hurts!
