In the 1950's Chinese American Emma Hu feels out of step in her community, not only because she is caught between two cultures, but also because she excels in math.

My Life According to ME,
By A Customer
This review is from: Who's Hu (Hardcover)
My life according to me(Emma Hu) Emma Hu is just like any other girl you know. Only one problem she's Chinese and because of that she has a hard time trying to fit in. Every one thinks, well almost every one thinks that since Emma is Chinese that she is different from everyone else. On top of that she still struggles to find a date for the prom. But then there's her brother Emerson who's thinking about running away to China with his Caucasian girl friend, because no one approves of there relationship because Emerson is Chinese and his girl friend (Linda) is Caucasian. I would have to say that this book Who's Hu? Is the best book I've read since Harry Potter. Because I was really into it. It was very detailed and you could totally understand what was going on where and when. I would definitely give this book six (6) out of five (5) stars. ******

Interesting story but...,
By Scottie's Mom "scottiesmom" (Newton, MA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Who's Hu (Hardcover)
I was intrigued by an excerpt of this book, assigned as part of a short stories unit in my son's English class. Unfortunately, the most interesting part of the whole book was that excerpt. While the author presents a very interesting story of a young immigrant girl growing up in Boston during the 50s, not unlike my own story (although mine would be 10 years later), the quality of the writing isn't up to par. Many chapters went off tangent and the prose was dull. I was disappointed because the book could have been fascinating had it been shorter or written better. Perhaps avid middle school readers may still find it a good read for its subject matter, but only if they aren't picky about writing quality.
