lopi 's review for:

Pachinko by Min Jin Lee
4.0

It's a crazy long story with multiple characters since it follows a family through generations. This isn't a very happy story at all, it deals with a lot of real problems and bleak topics. However I liked how Lee seemed to balance the different viewpoints of each character. Neither the Koreans nor the Japanese characters with totally black or white.

It was a fascinating read but man, there was no warm feelings after finishing it.
