Question : Extract Objects from Stream

This is a small extract from a response stream.  I am using the code below.

I want to be able to extract the data from the stream.  Whats the easiest way to do this?

{"contacts":[
{"email":"[email protected]","firstName":"Collette","lastName":"Craig","prefix":null,"suffix":null,"fax":null,"phone":null,"street":"5 Clonliffe Park","street2":"Culmore","city":"L'DERRY","state":"L'Derry","postalCode":"BT48 8NT","createDate":"2010-07-20 10:15:15","status":"normal","bounceCount":"0","contactId":"13881205"},

Dim Request As System.Net.HttpWebRequest = ar.AsyncState
        Dim response As HttpWebResponse
        response = Request.GetResponse
        Dim s As Stream = response.GetResponseStream()
        Dim encode As Encoding = System.Text.Encoding.GetEncoding("utf-8")
        Dim readStream As New StreamReader(s, encode)
        Dim Respon As String = ""
        Dim read(256) As [Char]

        ' Read 256 charcters at a time    .
        Dim count As Integer = readStream.Read(read, 0, read.Length)

        While count > 0
            Dim str As New [String](read, 0, count)
            Respon += str
            count = readStream.Read(read, 0, 256)
        End While
