Action packed

What a great and surprising book. It flies by like a thriller, yet it's incredibly literary and filled with great insights into the human condition and life in refugee camps. I can't imagine why this hasn't been made into a movie yet.

a great read

I couldn't put this book down. The action was so fast-paced that I didn't realize how much I was learning until I'd put the book down for a day and realized how much I'd entered a new and fascinating world.

Ingemar's Aunt

Ingemar from Toronto is totally correct. She is an insightful lady. Simply stated, this book is a master work of fiction. Like she did, I highly recommend it!

An incredible, fascinating thriller

I was amazed by this book. It's not only a suspenceful thriller, but it's also beautifully written, with fascinating characters, and I learned a lot about the chellenges of the Thai-Cambodian border. This is a book that really changed the way I see the world - a real gem.

Interesting read

My taste usually runs to literary rather than genre fiction, but The Depths of the Sea held my interest and attention. A complete dearth of knowledge regarding the history of the area and era won't impact your enjoyment of it (at least it didn't for me).
