The Woo-Woo: How I Survived Ice Hockey, Drug Raids, Demons, and My Crazy Chinese Family by Lindsay Wong
3.0
I was riveted by this DISTURBING and SHOCKING portrayal of a Chinese family living outside Vancouver. In the vein of The Class Castle and Educated be prepared to take a peak into a family life that is filled with undiagnosed mental illness, verbal assaults, poor nutrition and seriously abusive language and behavior. I wish there had been a bit more time spent at the end by the author looking at how they got out and how they thrived. The epilogue was too brief. Dark humor abounds and you will NEVER get the Poteau, Honkouver, Woo Woo and screaming out of your head. I listened to the book too which really intensified it since the reader's impersonations of the various characters was very well done and accented.
