First They Killed My Father by Loung Ung.

It's about a girl that grew up in Cambodia in the 70's during Pol Pots reign. If you like true stories you'll like this. It's very sad and very shocking, when you read how children were trained to be in the army and were sent into mine feilds ahead of soldiers in order to set off the mines. If you cry easily though you might have to prepare yourself for this one.

Finished this a while ago, and it was boring as hell. Have since read "The Whole Truth" by David Baldacci which I loved, and am now reading Salem's Lot by Stephen King.

Martina Cole, Runaway.

Love her books, loads of swearing, violence and a right good read.
