Title: Solid but falls short of waiting and free life
Product review: You can read many other reviews that will note the plot and progress of the book. All I would like to say is that if you are a fan of melodic writing (as most Asian American authors excel at) or just a fan of Ha Jin, then this is a must read. I would probably read Waiting, the Bridegroom (short stories), or a Free Life first. This book is a little more intense than the aforementioned trio. If you are interested in a raw look into the POW camps during the Korean war, then check it out. I mean, National Book Award and Pen/Faulkner award winner. You can't go wrong.
Would you say this review depicts the product in a flattering or unflattering light?
