Although the short stories in this collection veers towards the negative, ie., racism, death and deception, Ty Pak's writing creates a dreamy fog around his stories making it a bit romanticized. The book is written beatifully with just the right amount of details.

Although the themes in the collection of short stories veers towards the negative, for example, racism, death and deception, Ty Pak's writing creates a dreamy fog around the stories. It is written beautifully, with just the right amount of interesting details. I highly recommend this book and am sure that this will be one of the books I'll read over and over.

From one Korean to another, much kudos to this author. This book hit very close to home for me and I very much enjoyed it. Though I love to write, I'm not much of a reader. Ty Park did a wonderful job at creating interesting stories. Though I enjoyed reading it, it had too much of a "The Joy Luck Club" theme. Like a typical Asian-American "fighting against prejudice" kind of story. I wanted a bit more to the story than just the fight against racism. Despite that, I very much enjoyed the book. The characters are truly truly unforgettable and most are likable. Congratulations to the author and much more luck and fortune in the future!
