The book-cover was beautiful. On the cover page Somaly sat there, thinking, looking towards her future maybe.
I registered a book at BookCrossing.com!
It is really difficult to review this book as a book, because first and foremost this was not written for someone to enjoy, but to inform people around the world about a situation they can overlook way too easily.
Sex slave trade is a business that makes billions of dollars every year, and it affects children and women in most under-developed countries, especially in South-East Asia.
Saying that I had nightmares for weeks after reading this book would be a bleak understatement! It is not hard to imagine things happening to you, when you learn what women your age, and many mostly younger than you are enduring in one part of the world or most parts of the world, for that matter.
Absolutely brutal, sobering, but also hopeful look into the Cambodian child sex slave industry. Any man who is thinking of traveling to South East Asia to enjoy cheap prostitution should be forced to read this.
There are few books that move you beyond words. You're reading and you realise you can't help the emotions running through you as you read it.
Sad, but true to life. well-written.
