Well written, and reads like a good novel rather than a memoir or a travelogue. Chronicles some wonderful relationships. Gives excellent insight into Vietnam after the war and all the changes up to current times. You'll find your notions about Vietnam and its people changing as you travel with Dana Sachs.
