COMMUNITY REVIEWS

Wanted to love it but couldn’t finish submitted by jacks404 on July 27, 2021, 7:37pm It got tedious about 3/4 through. Some really funny writing in the beginning though. If you like books with lots of descriptive language - maybe you’ll have better luck than me.

All Time Classic submitted by danzoia on July 10, 2023, 11:25am One of my favorite novels of all time. Witty, hilarious writing from the perspective of an immigrant. Trying to give a voice to Vietnamese when the usual portrayals of the Vietnam war and it's aftermath focuses wholly on Americans.
