"I like the book, like the movie i dont believe before that this is a true story, but after i read the book,.. very stranger and great story. Gak bisa bayangin bagaimana bertahan dalam situasi perang seperti itu, menyelamatkan diri sendiri saja sudah apalagi membawa begitu banyak anak adopsi. Luar Biasa."
"althought i have seen the movie,and i kinda like it better, but this book as a review still ok to read. because it provides me with more information than the movie offers to me.
if you love the movie, then you should read this book,,but i won't reccomend it to someone that hasn't seen it before..."
"Paul russesabaginaand his wife, Tatiana make a good living in Rwanda with their four children as paul is the manager of a belgian resort, hotel des mille collins.-the most extravagant hotel in the country. As he continues his daily job, he starts to become aware of a dangerous tension brewing in the city. It is between 2 races in Rwanda-the hutu who are the majority and in power as well as the tutsi who were once in control but now find themselves out numbered and hated. Hutu riots start to begin and the condition worsens. During the genocide, Paul tracked down as many relatives as possible including is wife and children and put them under protection in the hotel under the UN soldiers. Hundred more refugees flock to the hotel for safety and the staff becomes overwhelmed with feeding and helping all the children and the injured. As the genocide is still going on, Paul manages to guide refugees to a camp where they are safe. At the camp, Paul and his wife find their two missing njieces among other lost children, and celebrate their survival and reunion. Paul managed to save about 2000 people but one million people died.
I found the book and the movie very interesting and also read the book, 'an ordinary man' written by Paul Rusesabagina himself.
