The following review was written by SS, from the 6th grade reading class (see another review of "American Born Chinese" in the Previous Posts section):"American Born Chinese" is a book with many stories in it, 3 stories to be exact. It seems at the start that it makes no sense, but all the stories get interlinked and make perfect sense. Gene Luen yang has a great imagination with all his characters, so you really get into the book and enjoy it. At the start you get into the first story, but then say, “Oh, well, let’s see what this story is going to be like.” After a while you start to get the tempo and feel of how the book is going. The main character, Jin Wang and his family keep moving un till they settle after moving 3 times, Jin Wang was pretty young at the time. When he started his new school he made a good friend pretty quick. As Jin Wang gets older he struggles with new problems and has to make serious choices. To find out what choices Jin Wang needs to make, what he will choose, and what the out come will be, read American Born Chinese. This funny book is a great quick read for anyone over 8 years old because anyone under that age might not get the full affect.
