The Unwanted: A Memoir of Childhood

Title of the book: The Unwanted A Memoir Of Childhood

Author: Kien Nguyen

This book is autobiography by Kien Nguyen.  He tells about his childhood from Vietnam and how hard it was for his family, the house maid, and cooks after the war in 1975. The theme of the book is This is his first book I read and I don't know if he have other books he written. A theme I got is that life have opstacles and challenges one can gain knowledge and experiences

Kien went through horrible time from his home country. He was treated like a bad and got things take away from him. The important characters are Kien, his brother Jimmy, his sister BeTi, his mother, grandmother, and grandfather. “Don't let this anger ruin your life any more than it has” is a quote I admire because it's true that anger can ruin the life others and myself live in.

I like the book because it's like a lesson that people learn everyday and this book touched me and gave me another person’s experience. If your looking for a book that's like an autobiography or a true sad story that came from a person that has witness terrible things this is a book for you
