Title: Disturbing portrayal of Korean American culture
Review: When I heard about this book and read all the favorable reviews on this forum, I had to read the book. I was happy to get my hands on a book written by a Korean American because our culture is under-represented. However, I hope that non-Korean Americans who read this book don't think that this is how our culture exists. On the contrary, I find Korean American parents, although extremely protective, very involved with their children's lives. They are always struggling in order to make the lives of their children easier.I had a really difficult time reading this book because I found the story very disturbing. And I was disappointed that I felt no resolution at the end of the novel. I commend Patti Kim for breaching such a difficult topic, however, I feel that she has added onto the stereotypical Korean male in a negative way. As Korean Americans struggle to define a role in American culture, this book, in my eyes, may inhibit this progress.
