Review: Pretty Birds

Pretty Birds, a novel by Scott Simon, of NPR fame, that takes place in 1992-93 during the seige of Sarajevo and is about a young teenage girl there that becomes a sniper. A fairly interesting book made more so by my visit to Sarajevo. While the book was enjoyable and helped pass the time I found it difficult to connect with the characters and often felt like the conversations and descriptions were a bit to contrived and seemed artificial.
