A review by bluebrooks
The Buddha in the Attic by Julie Otsuka
emotional
informative
reflective
sad
medium-paced
3.0
The style in which this book is written is excessively repetitive, but it reinforces the themes and mood of what Otsuka is trying to convey. Definitely gave me a lot of insight into how Japanese immigrants we're treated in the early/mid 20th century.
