4.0
The authors packed this book full of fascinating information. I also really liked the magazine style. However, I should not have attempted to read this entirely in one sitting because at many points it felt like information overload, a me problem for sure.

This was such an interesting read - It was very relatable, and I feel a bit nostalgic looking back on the past couple of decades and it was nice to feel like some of the experiences I had was shared with a lot of other people. At the same time, I also learned so much about a history that was never taught to me growing up - particularly the earlier decades were very intriguing to read about.

slow-paced
I took my time reading this informative book all month about the rise of modern Asian American Pop culture from the past until now. Not the kind of book to binge, but it was so cool to see the progress we got from back until now. Although there is always room for improvement and growth, I'm happy I got to see many Asian Americans making an impact in pop culture whether it be through movies, tv, music, the internet, sports, politics, literature, and more! So proud to be part of this community!
