Day 144

My goodness how time flies.  I haven't had that much fun either!  Been a bit under the weather, and too busy working with books to write about books.  

I did read this one though.

It is the coming of age story, of a Chinese immigrant. The story starts when she is new to America at the age of twelve.  The main theme of the story is the struggle to fit in a strange culture, and country. 

Despite al the odds, Kim wins the battle in the end.  We hear her point of view changing, her thoughts, and ways from Chinese to American.  It is written in the first person, and in the beginning, we hear how Kim hears people talk, and how alien the American language sounded.  Despite it being a little on the narcissistic side -- it was very good.  

I am actualy working on a book of my own. A birthday book for my son. I wil show you the cover when I am finally finished.
