They had this at the school library and I checked it out. This was the first comic I have gotten from the school library not that it was very hard to choose because I really didn’t see that many other good comics or Graphic Novels as the librarian said hahahahah. Oh and they also had Pride of Baghdad by Brian K. Vaughn which is amazing and highly recommended.
So American Born Chinese was very good and often funny. It had three individual stories that interwove by the end of the book. One part was about a Chinese boy and his day to day experiences. The second part was about a normal kid with a crazy Foreign Exchange student. The last part was about A Monkey King and his journeys to achieve the twelve disciplines of kung fu and related things. This third part can become tedious at times but was never bad.
I read ABC very fast despite it’s 230something pages, I would imagine I read it in under and hour. So if you can get this at the library. Also this is a great comic for the kids where even someone older can enjoy it (because I did). The art it simplistic but still good. And the dialogue is most clever. So this is Recommended.
