FTKMYF: Explanation

I chose for my quarter four reading book First They Killed My Father, by Loung Ung. I made this decision because first of all I had heard great remarks about it. I also chose this book because it is about the Cambodian way of life throughout a nasty civil war and military dictatorship. This was important because the setting and plot is not the normal day-to-day of an American novel. I also chose this book because the cover was very interesting and in quarter three, I had read a fairly long book, while First They Killed My Father is on the shorter side. I am looking forward to reading my outside reading book, First They Killed My Father.
