A review by rachelini
The Headmaster's Wager by Vincent Lam

4.0

This book made me so tense! Many of the books I read, I know how it's going to end - not the actual ending, but that the protagonist will still be alive, or that everything will be resolved. With this book, I had no sense of where it was going, so I was on edge. Especially with the gambling - money issues always make me very nervous. It made the book very hard to put down.

Beyond that, I loved reading about daily life in Vietnam during the Vietnam War. It made me want to read more about the history of that region.
