Comments on: Route 66 to Vietnam http://www.podiobooks.com/blog/2006/02/07/route-66-to-vietnam/ News from the Staff of Podiobooks.com Tue, 18 Nov 2008 21:57:15 +0000 http://wordpress.org/?v=2.3 By: PuddyRat http://www.podiobooks.com/blog/2006/02/07/route-66-to-vietnam/#comment-155548 PuddyRat Wed, 26 Mar 2008 07:40:02 +0000 http://www.podiobooks.com/blog/2006/02/07/route-66-to-vietnam/#comment-155548 I lost my brother during the Vietnam War (in Laos, to be exact), early in 1971, so this book hit really, REALLY close to home for me. I listen to these podiobooks at work and I ended up in the restroom weeping during the recounting of the trip to the wall. Mostly, I guess, because I've made the same trip. I do have to admit to being slightly put off by the fantasies in the beginning as I wasn't sure where that was going. However, it just goes to show what many (most?) men will think about when given the opportunity, even while simultaneously carrying on a(n albeit one-sided) conversation with their wife. Overall, this was an enjoyable listen and should Mr. Lund put any of his other works onto this site, I would eagerly download them.

This allows me to believe I am hearing the man in the story instead of listening to a story. Very well done and enjoyable. Thank you.

Intelligence carried by feelings, a book I recommend. A very good book, that takes its time to highlight the depth of human complexity, that becomes more and more interresting as you go on.
