beth_sandyeggo 's review for:
The Orphan Keeper
by Camron Wright
3.5
I enjoyed this book, for the most part. It's heartbreaking to know this is based on a true story.
I didn't like the 10 year gap and would have liked to learn about the tutoring and how Taj adjusted to America. Taj as a senior in high school and college freshman is very self-centered and doesn't appear to know how to make a decision. If we'd been able to read about those 10 years of missing childhood, we may have better insight into his reasons and how he came to be so indecisive and uncommunicative.
I feel like the end was rushed. I would have been okay with adding in the 10 years and adding the end as an epilogue without as many details.
