I found this book to be one of my favorite reads so far! It was easy to follow, and it wasn't hard to fit all the reading in for the week. I even wanted to read father than the required length. In the beginning I was hesitant since it was a comic book, but I ended up enjoying it a lot. For it being my first comic book, I'd say it was a success. There were a few moments where I was confused with what was going on however. The ending was completely surprising. I didn't expect that crazy of an ending. It was interesting to see how everything tied together in the end. Chin-Kee and Danny become their true forms. Chin-Kee becomes the Monkey King, while Danny becomes Jin Wang. And Wei-Chen is the Monkey King's son. This comic book is a story about wanting to fit in. Although the author shows it in a drastic form, it's realistic. I was confused in the beginning as to how these stories were going to tie together, but I am happy with how the book ended. It's an interesting way to view this topic rather than reading a standard novel. And it goes to show you to embrace who you are, and don't try to hide it. Everyone is unique in their own way. You can try to be someone you aren't but you can't change who you are. It's a very realistic topic that many people seem to struggle with. I liked how the meaning behind these crazy stories is actually relevant. Throughout the book, it seemed like every seen had an importance to the bigger story.

It is always nice to switch up what you read, and reading a graphic novel was a nice change.
ReplyDeleteI agree that the graphic novel was a nice change and definitely a fast read.
ReplyDeleteIt did seem to be about trying to fit in. Its sad though that they felt they weren't welcome as the were in this country.
ReplyDeleteI agree with you Anna this was a quick read and I was able to finish this book fairly fast. I also liked this book and found it quite interesting how the three stories ended. I thought the ending a very book, overall nice job on your blog!
ReplyDeleteI really like how you said that you have to embrace who you are and where you come from because that really true. In the story It shows you who is really who and how that changed the perspective for the reader.
