The Great Vietnamese Novel(Port)Nguyen's Complaint

A Brilliant piece.
Revisado: 04-26-17
Nguyen has clearly full control of the English language as he masterfully tells this tale of a vietimese revolutionary's plight during the post Vietnam war aftermath. this book may have you laughing and it may have you crying but it will sure leave you wondering what the hell was that war that tore a country in two all about. His descriptive story telling as narrated by Francis Chau was superb and frankly blew my mind with the way an Asian American has taken so many American phrases and expressions and used them so well in the story. I look forward to reading more of his books.
