From the depths of pain to the heights of transcendence

One of the most beautiful, yet painful books I have read in a long time, Buddha Wept brings the reader through a spectrum of emotions as the terrifying conditions of Cambodia during the 1970's is revealed. The author's presence is essentially invisible as he brings life to every character. Poetically written with great attention to detail -- the reader weeps, laughs and experiences the chilling possiblity of transcendence through life's deepest horrors. I would highly recommend this book to anyone who cares to take a closer look at the existence we have created.

Inspirational!

Buddha Wept is a beautifully written novel. An easy, thought provoking read. This story expounds on man's inhumanity to man and our own inherent ability to transcend even the most horrific circumstances. Those who challenge themselves to overcome themselves in life will understand and especially appreciate this book. Rocco LoBosco should keep putting out his message of resilience of character, it is much needed. Bravo!
