asianunamerican 's review for:

The Only Child by Mi-ae Seo
3.0

This is written like a movie script, which makes sense because the author is also a screenwriter. I enjoyed it, the linear progression with a clear climax and ending “twist,” but wanted more from the plot and found the character of Yi Byeongdo a bit cookie cutter. Overall, entertaining, but best left as a book you borrow from the library and return.
