  作者文笔非常有特色，也经常会有能引起共鸣会心一笑的幽默，但个人感觉对于文学美感的注重超过了对于内容本身的构建，整个故事读下来，除了最后几章好像有点小高潮之外，都有点平平无奇。整体立意还是有点迎合美国受众对于个人身份和认同感的兴趣。

  作者借主人公之口痛骂美帝国主义看得贼爽！Kindle版最后还收了作者的几个小采访也很有用

  文笔绝妙，画面感强烈。开始和结尾的几章，因为军事术语和虐待场景太多，令人痛苦。No one is on the right side, everyone should be held accountable. 看待越战的新视角。No apology, no explanation. 在移民文学中鹤立鸡群。

  最后杀掉【消音】的时候才算高潮吧 但是最喜欢主角在菲律宾拍电影时对美国文化的观察 好莱坞represent我们 连我们的尖叫和哭号声都搞错了。

  I would rate the book 3.5 stars out of 5. Nguyen is truly a master of language. His elaborate wording renders the book nothing short of a joy to read. However, I am a bit disappointed in how the plot unravels in the final few chapters where Nguyen seems to be rather carried away.

  2017.9.8-9.12 最大的阅读愉悦来自语言的繁复幽默和文化上的共鸣。情节上其实感觉一般，最后的几章个人感觉有点头重脚轻。

  A lack of knowledge about the Vietnam War made me detach from the novel. Nguyen was very critical of the role of the Americans in Vietnam. Neither grateful nor confrontational, he had such an angry tone towards American culture and Southern Vietnamese politics. Like his satirical approach to a political connoted literature work. SY 8/9

  “She had a mind like an abacus, the spine of a drill instructor andthe body of a virgin even after five children. all of this was wrappedup in one of those exteriors that inspired our Beaux Arts -trainedpainters to use the most posted of watercolors and the fuzziest ofbrushstrokes” Really Pulitzer?!

  才开始看的时候觉得政治因素主导得奖 而越读越发现这个故事厉害 以及作者在叙述中的评论 最后几章完全手不释卷。看到有个评论说作者在用GRE词汇写书 笑死~

  我擦太感同身受了：一个越共在西贡以及美国做卧底，成了两面人。讲美国的地方太一针见血了。"The eternal misconceptions and misunderstandings between East and West, and the moral dilemma faced by people forced to choose not between right and wrong, but right and right.“ 结尾是精华，讲越南的地方也同样的一针见血，让我一个中国人欲哭无泪。当主人公终于come to terms with他的双重身份，w/devastating consequences. Scathing, bleak, & utterly beautiful
