There was a lot of laugh out loud moments in this book. So many that it was easy to miss that the characters were so thoughfully drawn. On the surface it appears to be a college life satire, and anyone familiar with college life will recognize the personality types. But there is a lot more going on. There are questions of ethnic identity, complications of friendships, and open family wounds, and the search for identity all playing together. None of this is taken too seriously, it just adds depth to the humor.

I'm looking forward to more from this author.

There is a laugh on every page of this book. It's the story of a Korean-American student in his senior year in college. He is questioning everything about his life from his girlfriend to his roomates to his ethnicity. He stumbles through all sorts of misadventures with a bunch colorful characters.

The book is good at balancing satire with real emotion so although you often find yourself laughing at the events, you also find yourself identifying with the main characters. It hard to imagine anyone who has survived college won't see something of themselves in it.

I very highly recommend this book for a nice fun read.
