The House on Dream Street Memoir of an American W
The following report compares books using the SERCount Rating (base on the result count from the search engine).
Rating: 4.67/5 from 12 reviews A great book to read, especially after you've been there!I was 11 when I went to Vietnam in 1999 with my family. We lived in Nha Trang, so life was different than where "Duyen" was, but I recognized a lot of similarities between the culture in Hanoi and southern beach city Nha Trang. I enjoyed her portrayal of the people and the land. It makes me wish I had gotten more out of my experience there. Well, if you want to just read a good book (maybe late teens on up, some was a bit "old" for me) try this one out. I thought it was great, and really captured the spirit of Vietnam and its people. The House on Dream StreetI couldn't put this book down! This is not a common occurrence with me. I quite often don't finish books that I start. The last one that I read until all hours of the night was "The Poisonwood Bible". Aside from Ms. Sach's wonderful writing style, her Prologue pulled me in and the story never me let go. How I wish I could have been there with her. Mind-blowingly good!This is simply one of the most stupendous travelogues I have ever read. In fact, I can't think of a better one. Read it! | ||||||||||||||||||||
