review: Buddha's Child

[The Holy Saint, Grand High Poobah, Master of Monkeys, Ehlers]

I hesitated to post this, I'll be honest. I know what our political discussions look like. But risking an all out war between the liberally-minded and the conservatives here, have a review about a book on the Vietnam War.

I found the review to be lacking in details. What is the writing like? How long is the book? Is it overly graphic? These are details that should really be found within the review...

I kind of agree. But I didn't have anything to run while I asked him for elaboration. Maybe we'll get it anyway.

What is the writing like?

The style the book is written in is very readable. Ky freely indulges in anecdotes and interesting personal details of the men he worked with as well as himself. He drops these personal details in among a pragmatic recollection of the events.

Its length, 372 pages.  How graphic is it?  Not very. It's a biography about a prime minister/pilot.  How graphic can it be?  I'll send a new version of the review with the length and with a statement about the level of graphic violence to replace what's up now if SE will post it.  

While we're at it, what other suggestions does anyone have?  Never written a book review before, how can it be better?

I think I'd just like to hear about the book more in depth--you mention that he has a particular point of view, but I'm not clear what his point of view is. I'm more clear on your point of view because of your dad than I am on the author's, you see. Not being very familiar with the history, I'd like to hear more summary of Ky's role, the kinds of things he talks about, etc. What you've got is great, I'd just like to hear more, if that makes sense.

Yeah, thanks, that makes sense.  

Keep'em coming.
