Rezension von JuliaSehr detailreiche, spannende und wunderschöne Geschichte. Kya ist sehr mutig und klug, das steht außer Frage. Wie sie lernt alleine zu leben, wie die Welt aussieht, was Liebe, was Trauer, was Wut bedeutet, wie sie ihre Passion und Stärken findet alles alleine mit gelegentlicher Hilfe wohlwollender, gutherziger Menschen war bewundernswert. Auch Themen wie Vorurteile, Rassismus und Gewalt werden in diesem Buch aufgegriffen. Das Ende hat mich tatsächlich nicht überrascht. Tate tut mir unfassbar leid. Seine Liebe zu Kya war groß und kannte keine Grenzen.
Rezension von Donna this is a true account of a child having to learn about life just by doing the stuff she learns.
Rezension von ChristinI read this before watching the movie. I really loved the story, but in some parts it could have been shortened, as the plot felt a bit drawn out. All in all, it’s a very good book, telling a powerful story of loneliness, resilience, and growing up on the fringes of society. The movie is also worth watching and does a good job of capturing the key elements of the novel.
