Voices from Vietnam :: essays research papers

This indorsers rating for this book is average. It is a really well written book plainly it may not appeal to most population. If the reader was familiar with the war then this would be a wonderful book to read. This reader thought it was elicit but not as enthralling as it should be. The book was mainly made out of quotes or dialogue from the men in the war. This was a very different way of writing but it was interesting. Many of the veterans had interesting stories to tell and how it felt like to be in the war. Overall it was a book to hit the books if youre into war stories.The things this reader likes about this book is that it was interesting in the fact that it had real stories from real veterans in the war. Some of the stories were explained in gruesome circumstance in which this reader thought was very disturbing. It is disgusting to know what happened to some of the Vietnamese and veterans during that war. What this reader also liked was how they explained the war w hile showing the opinions of some of the veterans. The least thing this reader liked about this book was that it didnt keep you on the edge. Even though this was a war story it didnt captivate me as a lot as I would have wanted it to. It became boring at parts when they explained how the war started and how the Chinese were trying to take image of Vietnam. What the author should have done was explain the war with minimum detail and have many comments from the people who were actually involved in it. In this readers opinion this book should be good for older people. Older people would understand the meaning of the war better and how it started. Also older people would probably find it interesting and actually want to read into it. Since older people have most likely lived during the Vietnam War they would appreciate this book much more than a teenager would. Voices from Vietnam is not even close to simple. With the exception of the dialogue the words used in the book were a little move for a teenager. This reader didnt enjoy much of the book because of this reason. The book is also quite long since it explains the war and contains comments from the veterans.
