This book amazed me. It was much more than I expected in the book. It was not an easy read, but it was well worth the effort to read it. Every time I picked it up it kept my attention and kept bringing me back for more.
It tells a little bit of Vietnam in general. Not so much the commercial aspect, but the environmental aspects following a country that has been in war for hundreds of years. The diversity of the biological was amazing. I read about so much that I had never even heard about! It stayed pretty neutral, but leaned toward preservation as it should. Yet it didn't condemn the native Vietnamese for their usage of the animals they have always used. It just made me aware of the issues involved.
