informative reflective slow-paced

5.0

Super informative. I learned more about Chinese American history from this book than even from 20+ years of talking with my own family. Nonfiction but it's really interesting. My family has 0 records so it's stunning and impressive how much information the author could gather.

betag1013's review against another edition

Very repetitive and didn't really capture my attention. The family history is really cool and interesting but I found the chapters to be very repetitive of each other and didn't really progress into the history (made it half way through chapter 7).
