"After living in Korea for almost 2 years I thought I should read this book. I must say I wasn't happy with that decision until the very end. This book shows a very different view of Korea right after the "end" of the Korean War and how American's GIs treated the locals. In some parts the book got so dark and descriptive that it made me uncomfortable and sad. I kept reading it hoping that somehow there would be a resolve to all the wretchedness. Keller is definitely a talented writer and I must say I'm very curious about her other books, especially the one that is supposed to come after Fox Girl."
"Starts off really well with description of the lives of children of Korean prostitutes and American GIs, but once the children grow older, the story seems to spiral out of control and becomes less plausible-sounding (not in historical accuracy, or to describe the plight of girls and women, but in the choices the characters make)."
"I read this years ago and I still think about it. It's the story of a "throwaway" children, of a Korean woman and American GI. It also examines the lives of poor women and children, who feel they have no alternative to prostitution. The book is graphic and violent, but never gratutitously so, and creates a strong and powerful story."
"Very dark. Reveals a whole world in Korea's "America Town" that I didn't know about. Beaten-down characters that you hope will find some redemption..."
