Mini-Review (click to view--possible spoilers)
Pro: It sends a strong message condemning a society that turns children into soldiers and then treats them like trash when it’s done with them.
Con: It is long and tedious with no obvious plot. Gita simply reports what happened to her, and when she reaches the present day, she just stops.
