initial review (3.0) very confused! definitely enjoyed the title of the book. it makes so much sense!!! my prof is interviewing Yu, so iโ€™ll report next week and see if i change my review. definitely found this focus into archetypes and satire interesting.

Update! Charles Yu is very funny, but my review remains the same.

5.0

A brilliant, distressing satire about Asian stereotypes and American culture. Both devastating and hopeful at once.

I highly recommend the audiobook, it was well-performed and, thanks to the narratorโ€™s fantastic portrayals of multiple characters and voices and accents, I never felt lost even in this uniquely structured story.

One of the best details that gave it extra points is that it's about the same time reading as it would be for an actual script for a regular feature length film. 5 stars for the audiobook. Of the few audiobooks I've listened to, they're produced very dry, just a persom reading to you, but this one has sounds effects and little fun details that make the already vibrant story really come alive.
