Another great read! After reading Pachinko it became one of my all-time favorites and I just had to read some more from Min Jin Lee. I love the way she writes, because her characters feel so real. Despite the lengthiness and loose plot, which some reviewers have complained about, I really enjoy it, because it makes me feel like I'm really in their life and seeing these characters grow. 

I loved it, and though I didn't think it was as good as Pachinko, I think that makes sense as it was her first book. I believe it was very solid.

The way Min Jin Lee writes is perhaps not for everyone, but if you enjoy becoming completely entranced in the world of a group of many diverse and flawed individuals, then her books are perfect.
