first of all, the book is racist. there are a lot of xenophobic comments  made on behalf of the mc and his family. the other mc’s racism is excused as something funny or that she can’t help. Secondly, its quite slow and boring at times. its just not a good book.

2.0

Voor de derde keer gelezen, dit keer voor een paper over racistische ideologieën. Het boek is al langer in opspraak voor het verkeerd benaderen van interraciale relaties, het fetishizen van Aziatisch-Amerikaanse personen en het rechtvaardigen van (geïnternaliseerd) racisme. Het feit dat het boek geen tegenbeweging maakt is voor mij problematisch. Ik vind dat de onderwerpen van huiselijk geweld en pesten daarentegen wel goed besproken worden.

Eleanor & Park was written by a white person. The book has received a lot of valid criticism about its portrayal of its Korean/Half-Korean characters. I invite you to check the link at the beginning of my review to get a better understanding as to why.
