American Born Chinese by Gene Luen Yang

I still don't know what I think about this book. I think I should like it, because it just won the Printz award for Young Adult Literature, but I don't really quite get it. The metaphor of the transformer and all of the transformations seems a bit too complicated for me. What I really need to do is to read it again. I read it rather quickly during an SSR time while I was subbing, so I was a bit more distracted than I would have been, had I read it at home. I do like most of the art work, though. I am still not sure what I think about graphic novels. I really like character development more than they allow, but this novel has more character development than I would have expected. Must re-read.
