Official Review: Five Knocks by Donna Vincent Roa

[Camille Turner]

From the captivating review, I agree that this is a story to be read. I can't wait to immerse myself in the misery of a victim of China's one-child policy and learn more about how it has impacted the general population.

I hope you enjoy it as much as I did!

One-child policy, hmm! I am always curious when it comes to the girl child. I will read the book and be enlightened. The review is well done.

Thanks. I hope you enjoy the book!

Thanks for this enlightening review - it has encouraged me. I felt a connection to Sya as I read the sample, and I certainly want to read the rest of the book to see how she fares. I'm also curious to see how the title fits in.

I hope you enjoy the rest of the book as much as I did! Thanks for your comment.

I love the way you have extensively reviewed the book Camille.You did it with so much passion such that even though I am not a fan of such books makes me want to read it so badly.The fact that you didn't tell some facts such as the meaning of the title makes the book even more mysterious and I just love it.I will surely read that book starting TODAY.

Thank you so much! That's fantastic you already began reading it. I hope you enjoy(ed) it as much as I did! Thank you for your comment.

This story is true to people who are yet to know the real nature of their persons. Sya, the adoptive child, of Chinese origin, goes to delve into the depths of her identity. Born during the time when China permits only one child per couple in the mainland, Sya was an excessive populace at the time, and so she was whisked to Baltimore, USA. It is interesting how she adapted to her new world. Thanks for the comprehensive review.

It's such a great story! Thanks for commenting.

A touching tale that will open one's eyes to the disadvantages of China’s one-child policy. It seems like an intriguing story. I'd like to know what the book title means. Thanks for the review. I enjoyed reading it.

It is certainly quite intriguing! Thank you so much for your comment and for reading my review.

[Camille Turner]

This book sounds intriguing. I like the plot idea of a woman looking for her birth parents and how it affects all her relationships. I heard about the one child policy in China, but I don't know much about it. It sounds horrific. Thanks for your review.

It is definitely worth the read! Thanks for commenting and reading my review.

[Camille Turner]

Wow, the book seems to be interesting and yet full of suspense...especially when it comes to the part of 5 knocks. But it is quite unfair that some children had to be abandoned or killed, especially the Girl Child. I am very much up to reading the book and just find out if she she gets to meet her parents or not in the end. Thanks for such an amazing review.

It is an excellent read! Thank you so much for your comment and for taking the time to read my review. I hope you get to read the book!

[Camille Turner]

I have loved your review I should get to read the book and know what the one child policy is all about

Thank you so much! I hope you enjoy the book as much as I did. Thanks for commenting!

Thanks for a good review, it leaves one with the desire to read the book. I have heard of the 'missing women of China' phenomenon, the book in a special way highlights this problem. It is a book worth reading.

I completely agree that it is a book worth reading. Thank you for your comment!
