a little hard to get into at the beginning, but eventually got better and more interesting ! 

Spoilerending was pretty satisfying and good, thankful that there were no sudden twists or bad events caused by Rocky's dad/gang

I've read some of the other reviews for this book. I agree with them on one thing. The first fourth of the book is rough, but the story starts to unfold.
At first it was slow and choppy, but soon I was captivated and had to know what happens next. So, I finished the rest of the book in one day.

Rocky is a tough cookie but he comes around to be a good character and a good guy. He cares for people, and his father is to blame for his behavior.

I can't read this. All of the sentences are short and choppy. It's as jarring as being in the car with someone who doesn't know how to ease onto their breaks at all the stop signs. I'm getting motion sickness. A sad DNF because I've never read anything set in Korea before.

I don't know how to feel about this book. On one hand, the writing was really good and the story of the main character and his relationship with his parents is very interesting. But on the other hand, the whole Ha-na thing felt very weird. This book featured some pretty gross stuff, which I didn't mind too much, but I don't believe it's realist how things ended up after what she had to go through.
