Book Reviews of No-No Boy
Book Review: The Not-so good book
Summary: 3 Stars
I read this book, and couldn't figure out what Okada was trying to tell the reader. He is all over the place. It is fine to have different experiences, moods, and challenges, but it seems like Okada is over analyzing every single one of those things. And it is not a pleasant read. I am sure that he went through a lot. But the characters in this book are, for the most part, not right. Okada left me feeling apathetic towards almost every character. And the people we surround ourselves with are a representation of who we are.
