It is rare that I give any book a 10 rate, but this one really deserves it. Perhaps it is because for the past two years here in the Philippines, I have been teaching young students from China and Viet Nam, and the later all knew of the "monkey bridges" and were surprised that someone had written a book with that title. They were fascinated by the comments written throughout the book and the use of two colored markers to hi-lite passages. They wondered why those particular words were used by the commontator. All in all, a wonderful book with a real jolt ending. I am posting it on to the US, and have included another name on the reading list. Hope you all enjoy it as much as I did.

Peace, and sorry for what the US did in Viet Nam.
