What to say - this novel spoke like a Hollywood script right to my heart. The main character spends his life trying to make it out of a typecasted Generic Asian Man role thatโs a trap for him, only to find that his dream of being Kung Fu Guy was just one rung higher on the ladder that leads nowhere. The question I asked myself - closing the book, was - in what ways am I playing my own gendered version of the Young Asian Woman trap?

One of the best details that gave it extra points is that it's about the same time reading as it would be for an actual script for a regular feature length film. 5 stars for the audiobook. Of the few audiobooks I've listened to, they're produced very dry, just a persom reading to you, but this one has sounds effects and little fun details that make the already vibrant story really come alive.
