The book is a moving fictional novel about a lady who has lived a life spanning from before the Khmer Rouge period to modern day Cambodia. It is beautifully written, in that much of character development and the story is told by alternate literature which is a metaphor for the various character’s lives.

This is perhaps what I loved about the book the most. I have given the book 5 star because I felt myself moved and touched by the characters and I think it also makes us reflect on how Cambodia’s populas has been restructured as a result of the Khmer Rouge genocide. If this story was given a bit more editing it would be amazing!

One person found this helpful. Tragic that people live this way, beggars belief. I found the writing a little tedious, but it did give insight into how others survive in what daily becomes a more and more difficult world.

Very good and interesting read, great insight to other peoples lives. I thought at first who would want to write about living on a dump!! Gemma Coles. Loved it – it really made me think about being grateful for the moment I am living right now. How I should be grateful for everything I have and that life isn’t always greener on the other side.

I found it heavy in places but this made me want to be a better reader and understand more about literature. What a lovely and humbling book, well written and uplifting, didn’t want it to end I loved the story, the theme and the way it was written. I did not want it to end.

A gentle read and very enjoyable. Our book club choose this book and we all agreed it was one of the best books we had read. The book is based on a real family who live on the largest rubbish dump in Cambodia. The author has woven a wonderful story around them and has used literature and fable to show how story telling, education and literacy can affect people’s lives.

Camron Wright shows great insight to the way in which these people think and live and whilst the story is sad and shocking in places the overall book is one of hope, happiness and wonderful story telling. I found it difficult to put down and would love to know what has happened to the family and if their lives have now changed or are they still collecting “treasures”. As one of our members said “Dumps are quite magical” although I am not so sure this is true if you have to make a living from them.

There are some wonderful quotes and stories within stories. Truely wondeful and we look forward to reading further works by this author. See all reviews. Together with her mother she visits her grandpa every Friday. Her grandpa is diagnosed with Alzheimer’s and he is not always coherent. Before he dies quite unexpectedly, he composes a number of letters addressed to his granddaughter Emily. Addressed to Emily, but not necessarily only meant for Emily.

This is a very nice and interesting story. Grandpa Harry obviously is no good expressing his true feelings or what is important to him with spoken words. This is also the reason he is somewhat estranged to his own kids. But once he is dead, through his letters for Emily, he finally finds a way to indirectly express his love, to talk about his struggles in life, to finally drop his mask.

And it does some good, not only to Emily. Report abuse Translate review to English. Exelent wonderfully written pleasure to read teaching allarouhd book loved it.

Next, I shortened Long Odds , but that wasn’t enough. Then, rather than have Sang Ly read it, I tried having her relate the story from her point of view. Almost there, but not quite. In order to offer a more Asian feeling to the scene it is Cambodia, after all , I changed the names and location to protect the innocent.

That all said, I highly recommend you give the original version a read. Haggard was a celebrated writer and his work is most entertaining. Pyramus and Thisbe are characters from Roman mythology, and a story of ill-fated love that is said to have inspired Romeo and Juliet.

Like Long Odds , noted above, I originally included the entire story, but later opted to reference only select parts. There are several versions, but I have linked just one. Others can be found online. Once again, for reasons of style and pacing, I chose to use the version slightly edited by Hans Christian Andersen There are other classical works from Cambodia and around the world mentioned only by name in The Rent Collector , but they are not listed here.

While The Rent Collector was inspired by the real-life journey of Sang Ly and Ki Lim, as portrayed in the documentary film River of Victory , I also relied on several wonderful books for reference and inspiration. A few of the more prominent are listed below. This book is life-changing and highly recommended.

If you think your life is full of problems, read this story. It turns out, it’s just the opposite.

Sang Ly’s story is an incredible gift that will open your eyes and help you see just how much one person can change the world.

It was so neat to witness Sang Ly learning to read and how that changed everything for her and her family. Being able to peek into a part of the world so foreign to my imagination is something that I feel has enriched my life and broadened my perspective yet a little more.

Dec 10, Jennifer Hughes rated it liked it Shelves: nostrano. And if you have a happy experience reading this book, I am truly glad for you. I thought the book had a lot of great things going for it, but in the end, it didn’t win me over. I think the best parts of the book were the pictures and the factual details of life in a garbage dump. I was simultaneously horrified and entranced by these poor characters’ plight. But the further I got into the story, t 2.

But the further I got into the story, the less interesting and believable it was, sadly. I do want to look into the documentary the author mentions, though. You’d think I of all people would resonate with the theme of literature having the power to transform lives, but it just felt like a false setup to me. The characters went from having lots of potential to seeming really two-dimensional, especially the Rent Collector herself, who turned from a fascinating, mysterious, complex woman into someone kind of pitiful and maudlin.

My overall takeaway is that there are some really interesting themes in the book, but I just didn’t feel like Camron Wright had the chops to pull it off. I never really believed him in Sang Ly’s voice. Maybe it would have worked better for me if he had written in 3rd person instead of trying to get into her head. I was also kind of fascinated and yet put off by Wright’s taking real people and picking them up out of their lives and dropping them into a totally fictional scenario.

How would I feel if someone did that to my life? It may be a cool literary technique, but it is also kind of insulting to the subject. I wonder what the reaction of the people “represented” in this story would be when they hear about themselves It reminds me of the end of the movie “Pee Wee’s Big Adventure,” when Pee Wee is gathered with friends to watch the movie of his life–as portrayed by Chuck Norris and Morgan Fairchild.

And his bike has somehow become an awesome motorcycle! Maybe the moral is that we all could use a fiction writer to spice up our otherwise boring and unimportant lives! Sorry, just had to poke a little fun. This is a fictionalized account of a real family who live on the Stung Meanchey, the largest municipal dump in Cambodia. Sang Ly and her husband Ki Lin are pickers at the dump, scavenging recyclables to sell to earn a meager living for themselves and their chronically ill son, Nisay.

They live in a one room cardboard hut with only a tarp for a door. For this they must pay rent to the Rent Collector, a miserable, drunken old woman. At some point Sang Ly learns that the Rent C 4. She begs her to teach her to read, so she can make life better for herself and her family. Thus starts a remarkable journey for both women. Their lives become enriched through literacy and literature, as Sopeap passes her knowledge to Sang.

Many of the characters in the book are actual people. Their photos are in the back of the book. The author was inspired to write this book after his son did a documentary on the Stung Meanchey and Sang Ly and her family. But their sunny dispositions are in direct contrast to the miserable conditions in which they live.

The dump almost becomes another character in the story. The story is at its best when Sang and Sopeap are discussing books. In this case, since Sang lives at a dump, anything that can transport her somewhere else and bring beauty into her life is desperately needed. The book is beautifully written and flows well. You definitely get a feel for life at the dump, and although the ending has a fairy tale quality to it, it is very satisfying.

A definite recommend. View all 6 comments. May 10, Antoinette rated it liked it. This book has me conflicted. On the one hand I loved the message the book was delivering A feel good story about the redemptive power of reading. Books and stories connect people. We readers all know that. That message came across loud and clear.

I loved how books and stories were characters in their own right. This book read like a fairy tale not necessarily a good thing – much like the Cambodian version of Cinderella which was one of the stories told in the book. The story revolves 3. The story revolves around Sang Ly and her family living by a dump in Cambodia.

They earn money by scavenging for materials that can be sold. Sang Ly feels that learning to read would be their ticket out.

The trouble though was that her voice did not ring true to me- she sounded more American than Cambodian. The tone of the book annoyed me as well as it was too preachy. There were lots of lessons the author wished to relay but he relayed them in such a way that felt sermon like at times. Much as Sang Ly was learning from Sopeap Sin, we were as well.

This book did make me interested in reading more about Cambodia and learning more about Khmer Rouge. View all 15 comments. Oct 17, Lynne rated it it was amazing. A beautiful story about love and war and literature and healing. So thought-provoking! Wonderful book club selection!!! Highly recommend this book to all my Goodreads friends! Apr 05, Kerstin rated it it was amazing. Halfway through the day, my brain declared itself the winner and started to work out a plan.

Grandfather loved luck, but I am tired and can no longer wait around for its arrival. I bite my lip — it hurts. I glance around the room — it’s our home at the dump.

If you want to resurrect hope, doing is the most important. To understand literature, you read it with your head, but you interpret it with your heart.

The two are forced to work together — and, quite frankly, they often don’t get along. Everyone loves adventure, Sang Ly, when they know how the story ends. In life, however, our own endings are never as perfect. Her fingers curl around the pages, embracing them, and I promise to read more diligently and with more passion from this moment forward.

However, first you musst see it, feel it, and then believe it. When you do, where it takes you may surprise. Of course, I’ve never been in this actual situation before, so when I finish and she says nothing, I don’t know what it means. I wait. She continues to think. There was a playwright named Heller, American, I believe, who summed it up this way.

He said, ‘They knew everything about literature except how to enjoy it. Stories express our longing not only to make a difference today but to see what is possible for tomorrow. Literature has been called a handbook for the art of being human. So, yes. Fight evil with your knife.

Whether we like it or not, hope is written so deeply into our hearts that we just can’t help ourselves, no matter how hard we try otherwise. They touch a chord in our soul because they’re notes we’ve already heard played. Plots repeat because, from the birth of man, they explore the reasons for our being. Stories teach us to not give up hope because there are times in our own journey when we mustn’t give up hope. They teach endurance because in our lives we are meant to endure.

They carry messages that are older than the words themselves, messages that are older than the words themselves, messages that reach beyond the page.

Yet, on the other hand — and this is the part that frustrates — if we don’t take the meaning of these stories literally, if we treat these tales as simply entertainment, we miss the deepest, most life-changing aspects of the stories. We miss teh entire reason they even exist. If you are stupid, be stupid enough so they can pity you. Sometimes the two can be confusing. Instead, my husband runs through the city for the better part of the night to make sure that his wife and son are safe.

At this moment, I think it would be more apt to say, For news of a mother’s heart, watch her child’s face. Nisay is terrified and my heart weeps. When I finally crack open the door to the pssibility, gratitude rushes past so quickly to reach the sunshine, there is nothing I can do to stop it. View 1 comment. Sep 15, Mikko added it Shelves: listened-to. I almost burst into flames reading this book. And not in a good way.

Never before has a book set me on fire so much so that I stopped people in the grocery store to rant about it. And I’m talking a raging house fire that turns childhood photos to ash, not sweet cozy flames in a winter stone hearth sort of fire. The idea that The Rent Collector brings life in Stung Meanchey into the book clubs and reading lists of our comfortable Western world is a silver lining on a very dark storm cloud.

The BAD: This book is an excellent example of an author writing the story that he feels he needs to tell, and not honoring the characters or the story that actually exists. My first inclination that there was something horrifically wrong with the story was the voice of Sang Ly.

Sang Ly is a young mother living with her husband and chronically ill baby in the largest municipal dump in Cambodia, Stung Meanchey. We quickly learn that her life is hard, her child is dying and she has little hope for her future. When she figures out that the mean and nasty rent collector can read, she hatches a plan to get the woman to teach her how.

Great setting for a novel, wonderful set up for character evolution and the pages are rife with conflict HOWEVER illiterate Sang Ly, telling the story in the present tense and in first person, has the vocabulary of a college educated American soccer mom!

I found myself chuckling every time Sang Ly used words such as, “grandeur”, “embraced”, and “incessant”. In one instance the character takes the opportunity to explain to the reader what happens to young virgin Cambodian girls impoverished families sell to men, believing they are giving them a better life. Is this reality? Could the character Sang Ly know this?

This woman cannot read. How does she have any clue as to how much American money is valued let alone how it translates to the value in Cambodia! Poor illiterate Sang Ly also gives us the genus and species of the plant ‘bitter melon’ mormordica charantia , amazing don’t you think?

Her vocabulary is only one example of character transgression. In one passage, Sang Ly nearly has a nervous breakdown because she finds a leech on her ankle, which apparently has never happened before in her four years of living in a flaming, often explosive cesspool or during her entire childhood in the rice fields.

In addition to the vast violations in character voice, Camron Wright also takes the time to use the character of the rent collector Sopeap Sin to give the reader little lessons on what the author feels makes up literature. This part of the book left me feeling greasy. It was as if Wright was whispering in my ear, “See? Analogy and metaphors about the truth of life is what makes great literature. See how MY book is great literature? In reading this book, I watched opportunities to tell a great story, to transport the readers, to illuminate actual truth leak out and run down the drain.

Sang Ly returns with her family to the province she grew up in, a lush tropical jungle set with a different kind of poverty. These chapters, if filled with sensory description and nostalgia bursting off of the pages, had the power to illustrate to the reader our perceptions of life as children versus the reality of our lives as adults.

When you submit the Review Request form below, it is sent to all our reviewers for selection. We do not assign reviews, we provide our reviewers with detailed information about your book so they can choose stories they are interested in.

This process is designed to closely mimic the purchasing process at a bookstore, providing you with a quality, honest and genuine review from exactly the type of person who would have normally purchased your book. If a book receives less than 4 stars no official review is given. Instead, the reviewer will write constructive criticism to let the author know what problems they had with the book and offer any suggestions they may have to improve it.

This will be about the size of a regular review and will be sent to the author privately; it will not be posted publicly.

We are here to help authors, not hurt them. Although we as a company do not interfere with what rating a reviewer gives a book, as the rating must be what the reviewer feels is appropriate, we do monitor the average ratings of our reviewers to ensure they are being fair and honest about their ratings to maintain the integrity of our reviews. When you receive a review from Readers’ Favorite, the first line of the review indicates who your reviewer was so you can look them up on our About Us page.

Knowing the type of person who provided your review can help you understand the potential demographics of readers who will enjoy your book. This also benefits the reviewer by giving them proper credit and recognition for their work and time.

Because it is critical that reviewers provide quality reviews, we invite you to Review your Reviewer. When your review is complete, you will be able to login to your Author’s Area and rate your reviewer on a 5-star scale and provide a short review, just as they did for you.

Your feedback is presented to the reviewer to help them improve their skills, the same way book reviews help authors improve theirs. The information is also passed to the Readers’ Favorite staff to help us ensure the quality of our reviewers and reviews. In fact, we provide hundreds of free reviews each month to authors from all over the world from independent authors to best-sellers and celebrities. Although we cannot guarantee that all books will receive a review, more than half of the books submitted for a free review will receive one within 3 months.

As a company we play no part in the time it takes for a book to receive a review because we do not assign books to reviewers; they select them from a detailed list. We designed this process to mimic that of a book store to ensure you get a reader who represents your core audience.

Once the book file is no longer needed it is deleted from our system. We have done hundreds of thousands of reviews since we launched in and are used by all the big publishers and have never had an issue with piracy. All our reviewers are vetted and provide a government-issued ID so we can verify their identity and so we can cooperate with law enforcement should there ever be an issue with an author’s book. We also have a litany of systems in place to track and monitor our books to ensure their security.

Generally, authors have nothing to fear when submitting their books to reputable review companies because their books are not of interest to pirates yet.

Pirates do not need to work for a review company to steal book files. They can buy the Kindle version of the bestselling book on Amazon and use common DRM cracking software to copy it in 10 minutes or they could simply buy the paperback version and use a standard OCR scanner to scan each page and have a PDF in about an hour. Using these methods, they can steal and sell James Patterson’s new book or all the Harry Potter books, the choices are unlimited. With review companies, almost all the books are unknown or not even publish-ready yet.

You can also password protect your PDF, just be sure to provide us with the password in our Book Description box when you submit it to us so the reader can access it. You can find this information in the Product Details section on your Amazon page.
