The Buddha in the Attic by Julie Otsuka

2.0

book club 2.0 book, looking forward to the discussion because I did not like the book so much. I often find more to like when we discuss. I was not a fan of the writing style of the author. I found the use of the same phrase to start so many sentences to be monotonous. It may have been a good way to demonstrate the wide variety of choices or options but I found that I wanted to skip a lot of what was being written. I know that the style seemed to emphasis the diversity of people and also the anonymity. That was likely the point and I am just slow. The U.S. history during WWII with the Japanese-Americans is a shameful time. another reminder of how fear is allowed to dictate decisions concerning those of another culture that does not match our own.
