Seller's Description:
Good. A well-loved companion. Corners and cover might show a little wear and you could find some notes or highlights. The dust jacket might be MIA it might have been a library book and extras aren't guaranteed-but the story's all there!
This book was a unique read for me as I've never read a book from the perspective of a Filipino American. I enjoyed the voice and was instantly pulled in. I also liked the fact this character was also unfamiliar with the culture and current and past events of the Philippines because I learned so much right along with him. For instance, I wasn't aware of the drug situation and slaughter of so many people.
What I didn't like about this book is the hint of romance/cheating aspect which I felt detracted from the story and was not needed. I also had hoped for a deeper look into the drug situation--more emotions, more exploration of what is the truth for the family. For example, why did his dad not tell him the truth when they are so removed from the homeland? Why did the parents agree to cut cultural ties to the Philippines? This novel felt more like upper middle grade because of this issue. However, these dislikes are not enough for me to not recommend this book--I think many readers should get this in their hands and see a part of their world through new eyes.
