The Sympathizer By: Viet Thanh Nguyen

This one deserves 10 stars.  A searing look at the Vietnam War from a completely fresh and original standpoint (please read that with sarcasm).  It's sad to say that this is the first of it's kind now that we are fast approaching the 50th Anniversary of when America "pulled out" of Vietnam.  This book will cause you to think, rethink and think again about everything you thought you knew about Vietnam.  There are so many layers to peel back from this brilliant, funny, horrifying, uncomfortable and oddly hopeful book.  I can't recommend it enough!!!
