I loved the look at a historical perspective that often times gets overshadowed by the other atrocities of WWII. I did not care for the prepubescent love story. And I really didn't find any of the characters likable or relate-able, with the exception of Keiko and the lunch-lady.
At times I had to excuse the author because I realize this is his first novel and writing a piece of fiction is no easy matter, but as others have said he made some very obvious mistakes. And at times his writing was just awful. I'd recommend skipping this book and just picking up something on internment camps in the history section.
