Fresh Off the Boat: A Memoir by Eddie Huang

3.0

---

This is the first time in a long time that I've read a book in which I literally did not understand some of the sentences, a lot of the slang, and a great deal of the culture -- which makes perfect sense, when I think about it, and only adds to the book's raw style. There were a lot of painful, awful things in this book, and while I didn't really enjoy reading them, I did feel like I learned a lot from hearing Huang's perspective.

I hope the statute of limitations has run out for his various criminal activities, and that his brash successes continue.
