Pachinko

4.5

challenging emotional sad medium-paced

Plot or Character Driven: Character

unfortunately another audiobook that’s ruined by the narration. i understand costs that come with professional narration, but can authors at least take some sort of course on narration before reading their own books?? i loved the content but the narration was so grating i couldn’t finish it before my library loan ran out. might pick it up again as a physical book someday though

Took awhile to get started (only really got invested in it in the last 2/3rds of the book) but the payoff is definitely worth it. meticulously crafted. so excited to see more of this world

adventurous funny mysterious fast-paced

Loveable characters: Yes

Flaws of characters a main focus: Yes

Great ideas and engaging writing but clumsy execution. Definitely felt like a first novel. Interesting and insightful commentary on power, generational trauma, imperialism, and maybe even the term “cultural competency”
