grahamlibrarian 's review for:
Fresh Off the Boat: A Memoir
by Eddie Huang
Not a story I could easily relate to, nor did I connect much with the constant references to hip-hop, basketball, sneakers, and New York street culture. His slang vernacular was off putting for me and felt over the top. I appreciate his struggle, though I can't personally relate to it. This book has a very specific audience that I am not a member of, but I did enjoy hearing a perspective very different from one I am used to hearing. I do want to eat at his restaurant though, and make some beef noodle soup, so it gets the extra star for that alone.
