i read this for a class and loved it so much. beautifully written and entertaining, i was on the edge of my seat pretty much the whole time. i doubt it was intended to be so exciting but it was perfectly paced, including wholesome, sad, and funny stories about a family of Korean immigrants and their quest towards the American dream.
