Why the standard enthalpy of vaporization(water) is greater than standard enthalpy of vaporization(acetone)?

Enthalpy of vaporization is the amount of energy that must be supplied to the liquid in order to change the liquid into a gas. Enthalpy is also regarded as boiling temperature of the liquid. 

Acetone does not have hydrogen bond, and thus intermolecular forces are comparatively weaker which makes it boil/evaporates fast, thus reducing the molar enthalpy of vaporization. Also, Acetone does not polar O-H bond contributing to low enthalpy. 

Water has non-polar region and also has strong hydrogen bond. Water has highly polar O-H bond which makes water boil at relatively higher temperature than Acetone thus has enthalpy greater than that of Acetone.
