Boxers by Gene Luen Yang

4.0

I really enjoyed Boxers even though the subject matter is very sad and fraught with conflict. Yang's storytelling skills are superb and charming. I love the way Gene Luen Yang interweaves themes of traditional Chinese opera, the elemental gods, and romance to tell the story of the Boxer Rebellion at the turn of the last century. The words and pictures of Boxers are simple, straightforward, and make for effortless reading.
