Fabulous book outlining basic puppy training - everything from dominance to potty training. :) The Monks are reknowned for dog training.
The first one was great, this one was a solid second. There are lots of loose ends still hanging and good twists along the way. I look forward to the next one.
I just got home from a two-week vacation in Vietnam, and as much as I loved the trip, the lasting memory of having read this book is a testament to the great power of books to take you to another culture and a greater understanding than touring a country itself. I would never suggest that a person can become more worldly by sitting and reading rather than experiencing things first-hand, but there are limitations when you travel. When you account for language barriers, cultural barriers, time limitations, and the fact that you're going to be as busy sightseeing as you are trying to gain a grasp of a place, a good travel book can frame the pictures you see in such a way as to make the trip that much more enriching. This particular book is not so much a travel journal or a bicycle trip as it is a memoir, and it is a really powerful story. Pham found himself lost in his adopted country, the U.S., and lost among his family and community, and ultimately lost when he tried to visit and re-experience the nation of his youth. But he certainly has found himself as a writer. His family history is compelling on its own, but the book really shines in its description of characters and culture in Vietnam. I only wish it seemed he enjoyed his trip more than he did, because I sure enjoyed reading it.
