A review by desertdreamsanddarkthemes
Boxers by Gene Luen Yang

5.0

It is very rare for me to read a book for class and be excited to read not just the other books in the series but other books written by the author. Little Bao is far from a perfect hero; it is many times that I wish he could hear me screaming at him, "What the f**k are you doing?!". The characters are not perfect; they mirror the realities of humanity in a very painful way. The story is painful but pinpricked by moments of humor and light. This book is just so human.

I can't wait to pick up Saints for my summer reading.
