spellygirl's review against another edition

reflective slow-paced

3.0

It wasn't bad, but from the reviews I've seen I expected a lot more. It was absolutely sad, but I was nowhere near crying or anything like that. There were a lot of descriptions of Korean food, which there were a bit too many of for me personally,

especially the eating live octopus thing.

 The audiobook was decently read, though I sped it up to 1.2, which I doesn't typically do. If you're into the topic and don't mind a lot of food descriptions, I would recommend giving it a try. I felt I learned more about Korean culture, and having issues communicating in your origin country. And of course the cancer journey and stuff, but I knew more about that to begin with. Overall I would probably have liked it better if it wasn't so hyped up and increased my expectations so much.

mcnan's review

emotional hopeful reflective sad medium-paced

I've never lost a parent. I'm not an only child. My race is as white as can be. That this story still managed to resonate with me was a testament to Zauner and her writing abilities. Her skill in picking up and noting minute details and feelings is incredible. 

I had the pleasure of listening to her give a book talk about this, but, admittedly, had not even read the book at the time. I wish I would have, because I would have experienced her presence with a new weight and understanding. 

Highly recommend the audiobook.
