Go by Kazuki Kaneshiro

3.0

It was a nice, short story set in Japan. However, I didn't like how the story was told as it often felt monotonous and just a reproduction of events. I wished for more depth and character development. Sometimes, I got confused with all the names but at the end it was all right. What I liked is that it mentioned many important topics like physical abuse but it often just scratched the surface. Moreover, born and living in a country where its people don't recognize or see you as foreign can be understood by many immigrant children. That was a constant topic in this book and it showed how it is to be a Korean in Japan. There were many things mentioned about the japanese culture and society that was very interesting.
