[A] charming book . . . the volume contains a wealth of information about Vietnamese history and culture an adventure book strung through with passages on selflessness and mindfulness, this volume is an excellent choice for readers interested in Vietnam and Buddhism. "Publishers Weekly"
This is a magical, mesmerizing story; a complicated tale of Vietnam's anguished history, of healing and faith, and of a young boy's miraculous coming of age. "Ken Burns, director of Jazz and The Civil War"
When I had read the first few chapters of this engrossing biography, I had stopped a dozen times to recall my times in the Delta and the towns and villages that are mentioned in the book. By the time I had finished I wanted to go back . A thoroughly enjoyable read. "Captain E.G. Adams, The Air America Log"
"Fourth Uncle in the Mountain" is a great story about two simply good men. It is told simply, but simplicity should never be mistaken for a lack of emotional complexity, intellectual refinement, or overwhelming humanity. It is all that. "The Asian Reporter"
an unputdownable tale, told in an intimate, oral style with an unassuming wisdom, a thrilling, Castaneda-like search for knowledge as well as a moving tribute to the most profound love between a father and son. "Nick DeMartino, University Bookstore, Seattle (selected as University Bookstore's 2004 Book of the Year)""
