American Born Chinese
User reviews
Have you ever seen three different stories at once that combine together at once? A book that is a real-life situation, that happens mostly to teenagers now on. The first story is about a monkey (later on is called the monkey king) that was born from a rock by Tze-Yo-Tzuh, the monkey thinks he isnt a monkey, he thinks since he has learned kung-fu that any human being has learned he should be called
The Great Sage Equal of Heaven but people still think he is a monkey and thats why he cant go to human parties.
The second story is about a boy named Jin Wang, born in San Francisco. He was nine years old when his parents moved to America. This story talks about his teenage life like he is the only Chinese boy in his school, people dont talk to him because he acts like Chinese and not American and he tries to be American and not Chinese. This story is the best.
The third story is about Danny who is the coolest kid in his school and the only problem with him is that his cousin brother named Chin-Kee, he visits him each year. He doesnt like when he eats Chinese food, wearing Chinese clothes, and acting smart in class and every year he has to change the school too and he is very disappointed with it. Read this book to find the amazing ending. I recommend this book to teenagers because there is some racist stuff in it about Chinese people and its really funny.
