Never Fall Down by Patricia McCormick

5.0

This book was...intense. I'm glad I discovered it here on GR, I don't recall ever learning about the Cambodian genocide or the Khmer Rouge in school. If I did it was only a small paragraph or a couple sentences in a book that hardly registered and went unremembered. I won't forget now. Arn's account (told through McCormick) of his years spent just trying to survive the labor camps, later being forced to become a child soldier, and many other cruelties suffered at the hands of the Khmer Rouge were chilling and eye opening.
