Review for American Born Chinese by Gene Luen Yang
This was the first graphic novel I ever read. And I loved it! I was literally laughing out loud when I was reading, which probably scared some of the people sitting close to me. The artwork was amazing and I loved the references to popular culture, such as Transformers. Even though this graphic novel was full of great humor, it also had a deeper message that I really appreciated. I think that many people would relate to several of the characters in this novel, and maybe even discover more about themselves along the way. The reading was quick, but as mentioned in my description above, I was left wanting more. My first experience with a graphic novel was epic and I will definitely be picking up many more in the future. Before giving this novel to a student, I would discuss prejudices with him/her and make sure that he/she understands that this novel is not promoting those prejudices, but rather, helping to do away with them, as well as make the reader aware of how ridiculous they can be.
