Thoughts on voice.

OK, well it seams very obvious to me that this story is written using the voice of a child. This seamed very interesting to me because I wanted to know why Loung Ung decided to write the book in this voice, and not in a voice of her grown up looking back at the events. I defiantly feel that using this voice really adds personal feeling to the book. This voice allows you to see her problem the exact same way that she originally saw it. I feel that if it had been written any other way. Than it would change the whole feel of the book. What are your thoughts? Do you think that if Loung Ung had written it in a different voice, you would of read and thought of the book differently? Or would you read and think of the book the same as you did?
