salokcinnodrog Posted August 20, 2009 Report Share Posted August 20, 2009 I read this years ago, but couldn't really remember much of it, and I have not seen the film so I thought it start reading it again. It is about the "trials" of Jim, an English 14year old lad who was living in Shanghai with his parents when the Japanese invaded. The Japanese put vast amounts of Civilians into Concentration Camps and treated the captives abysmally. The book charts Jim's life from before the invasion through to the end of the war, his thoughts, his fight for survival. Harrowing, scary and even at the end it doesn't have a satisfactory ending. I started it last night, and finshed it today, I seriously couldn't put it down. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
