An interesting look at life in Viet Nam after the Americans pulled out and in particular the story of a Vietnamese family that went from riches to rags.
I had to set this book aside periodically because the subject matter was just too disturbing. The content was even more upsetting because it involved the misfortunes of a child. This book made Glass Castles look like a trip to Disney World. Informative about the Vietnam era, but not uplifting.
An eye opening book regarding the Vietnam war period and the people it affected. A true story about a boy and his family, how the fall of Siagon changed their lives, the struggle to stay alive and stay human.
