The book I am reviewing is called Chinese Cinderella. It’s about a little girl growing up in China and what she goes through and how badly she is treated and all she wants is someone to love and accept her. The gener is in the 1800’s. i think =) This book is a real story, it happened to the writer herself. I found this book very sad and meaningful. Adeline Yan Mah wrote this touching book she has also written ‘Falling Leaves’ and………… Adeline Yan Mah was the main charactor and her famil she had three brothers, one sister, one step sister, two step brothers, an evil step mother, a father and her mother died when Adeline was born. It was her llife or her mothers, everyone blames Adeline for theloss of their mother this is why she is treated so badly.
I think this book would best suit children from the ages 13 to 16 years old. Because it is a serious book, I think teenagers would understand it better.
Some different reviews are:
“I think that this book is really inspiring to me because the book makes you think and You wonder how it would feel to be in her shoes. The worst part is that it is still happining today that women die after giving birth and if the baby dies and has older sibilings or family they look at you very differently and say ” o thanks alot you killed our only mother” or ” if it wasn’t for you our mother would still be alive ” and it makes them fell bad I mean it would make me feel really bad. and to tell those people who have lost there mother at birth to read this book Thank You!!!”
“Chinese Cindrella is one of my favorite books!! This book was so touching and I would recommend it to everyone especially teenagers. When I finished reading the book, I would think about the unwanted people in this world, the orphans. I was so proud of Adeline, how she didn’t give up all the day through childhood. In the contrary, she fights for her attention by being the top of the class every week.”
I rate this book 10 out of 10! I absolutly loved it!
Overall I believe that this is one of the BEST books that I have ever read, it is so sad and touching at the same time. It acctually happend to the author herself, a real life story. I have reaad the book at least 4 times and never get sick of it. I strongly reccomend this book!!
Good work! A very well structured review. You could probably have used just one or two lines from other reviews, but your own comments are very good. Make sure you run a spellcheck before publishing your posts (as well as rereading your work) – there are a few typos I think you would have picked up if you’d checked.
