busymorning 's review for:
Fresh Off the Boat: A Memoir
by Eddie Huang
I'm not upset I read this, but the writing of this book is definitely not for me. There were tons of basketball and hip-hop references that went over my head. And while reading, I wanted more passion, emotion and/or reasoning behind some of his actions. Or maybe some reflection? At times Eddie can be a bit arrogant and hypocritical. I thought the first third and last third were best, the middle gets old.
But maybe I'm just more salty that the book was marketed as a food memoir; it was more coming of age than anything.
