Official Review: Five Knocks by Donna Vincent Roa

[Camille Turner]

To be honest, I do not usually read books like this. However, after your review, I am looking forward to it. I have never thought much about the one-child situation in China. I started to feel outrage just from your review aline. Will be reading this book.

Thank you for reading my review, and I hope you like the book! It's definitely worth the read.

This sounds like a very compelling read and your intriguing review really piques my interest. I just downloaded the book and can't wait to read it! Thanks for the recommendation.

Thank you! I really hope you enjoy reading the book as much as I did.

I love your review about the book, it's intriguing. I would love to read the book, based on a balanced look at both history and current reality in China. Such policy was indeed horrible.

Thank you so much! It was a great book.

Looking forward to reading this book after your compelling description. Thanks for leaving out the spoilers!

Thank you for your nice comment! Hope you enjoy the book!

Thanks for the thorough review of this book. I have downloaded it to read later today. Stories about other cultures are always interesting to me. Your review made me want to read the book since you left me up in the air about what was going to happen and also hinted at mysteries to be solved.

I hope you enjoy(ed) the book! Thanks for your comment.

This sounds like such an emotional story about a girl trying to find answers about her birth family. This book dives into the one-child policy in China and how this policy affected this young girl's life. Congrats on book of the day! Great review!

It truly is a fantastic and emotional read. Thanks for commenting!

[Camille Turner]

Wow, I've never really heard much about this one-child policy thing in China, but this is surely an eyeopener into that terrible law. I love a compelling story anytime and I love that you gave us teasers to intensity our interest! Thank you!

It truly was a very interesting story and well worth the read. Thank you so much!

Five Knocks by Donna Vincent Roa is a very touching story about a young Chinese girl, Sya, who became a victim of China’s one-child policy. Though she was adopted by an American couple, she cannot let go of her burning desire to discover where she came from and who abandoned her.

Just like you, I also appreciate a book that approaches a difficult topic without fear of revealing the truth. Thanks for the great review.

Thank you! The book is really such a wonderful read.

You know, I haven't really been deep into this subject matter of the Chinese one-child policy until I read the review of this book, I bet the novel uses the interesting approach of an intriguing plot to create an awareness of (intentional) social ills that many of us are ignorant of.

I am surely reading 'Five knocks'. To me, the title seems to stem from Sya seeking for her background by intense knocking - I guess I am wrong right. I admire the book cover though, it seems the book is perfect in everything.

Thanks for this awesome enlightenment, it's more than a review...

Thank you for your lovely comment! I will resist the urge to tell you if you're right or wrong about the title (especially since you plan to read it), and I really hope you enjoy the book as much as I did.

[Camille Turner]

Great review. It does not reveal much of the story, just a few things, but they made me really impatient to read the book.

Thank you!

What a touching story, Sya tries to find out her true origins. I felt it is eye opening, especially when it comes to one child policy in China and its repercussions. This is a great review.

Thank you! It was a wonderful story!

[Camille Turner]

Wow thank you for your review and painting such an interesting perspective of the novel =)
I think the story sounds really compelling and it makes the reader curious about her adopted parents and wanting to know more about the one child policy. I almost wish this was a work of nonfiction.

Thank you for your lovely comment! It was a truly great book.

[Camille Turner]

This sounds like a great book. Your
review was very heartfelt and makes
me want to read it. The interesting
thing is that there is a historical truth
behind it which makes the story even
more compelling. This is a definite
addition to my “want to read” shelf!
Thanks so much..

Thank you! I hope you enjoy the book as much as I did!

[Camille Turner]

Thanks for the great & detailed review. I will definitely be reading this book the fact that it's a well written novel and also to read about the one child policy in China.

Thanks. I hope you enjoy it as much as I did!

What a compelling review. I was interested in the book after reading the synopsis. However, your review really helped to determine that I would enjoy this read. I have read other books from the before the one-child era, and I am interested in seeing how the era shaped society in this novel. While i'm sure parts will be sad, I can't wait to read this. Thank you.

Thank you! I hope you enjoy the novel as much as I did.
