The Bamboo Heart kept my attention the whole time and left me wondering what happens next. I look forward to reading the rest. The story so far is fantastic!

Mr. Gravelle is an extremely talented writer and The Bamboo Heart is one of his best. Looking forward to seeing this on the Best Sellers List!

I like that this story starts "sixty-five years later." Using this phrase sets the stage for uncovering something important that happened long ago but still may be affecting lives today. The character descriptions in this piece are enough to allow me to sketch a mental picture, but they aren't so long that I feel mired in description. This piece achieves a good balance of narration and dialog. I like the basis of this story and a lot of what the author has done.

I want more. I want to know who Mary is, what "Fibbers" story is, I want to know all of his secrets and what is making him so unhappy. These first pages really caught my interest and I want more!

"I just finished reading the Bamboo Heart and was really moved by it. It is a phenomenal story written by a gifted author. Get yourself a copy and a box of Kleenex as you will need them as you come to realize through the writers eyes the horrors of war."
