Book Reviews of Vignettes of Taiwan
Book Review: Alright...but not five stars!
Summary: 3 Stars
I thought that this book would be quite good, given the number of five star reviews it received by other Amazon.com users. Instead, I found it mediocre. The humor displayed by the author is interesting, certainly, but for those who really wish to learn anything deep about Taiwan and its people, this is not the book to look to. However, if you simply wish to read a mildly entertaining book, then this book would be fine.
Summary of Vignettes of Taiwan
When Joshua Samuel Brown first stepped out of the passenger terminal at Chiang Kai-shek International Airport in Taiwan, he was a stranger in a humid land with insufficient funds, zero job prospects and an over packed suitcase. Like much else in his life up to that point, his decision to move to Taiwan was based largely on random occurrence and cosmic coincidence. He was twenty-four years old, thousands of miles away from home, and at that moment the happiest man alive. This anthology of short stories, travel essays, photographs, random meditations, and political meanderings grew out of his years on the island formerly known as Formosa.Taiwan Books
