Crossing by Andrew Xia Fukuda
4.0
Crossing is an amazing debut novel. It blew me away. I didn't have a clue what to expect when I started it and that turned out to be a good thing. It would have surpassed anything I might have expected from it.
The most brilliant thing about Crossing was the writing. Even if the story had sucked, which it didn't, the writing would have made up for it. I can't do it justice. It was just beautiful.
Xing was not exactly an easy character to like or understand but after a while I did. He was a loner and he didn't do much to try and fix that but in his town it was kind of impossible. Everyone was so prejudiced and cruel to him. It was further than most high schoolers take bullying but I think everyone can relate to Xing. And with everything that is going on with bullying in high schools today I think everyone needs to read Crossing. It couldn't have been released at a better time.
Overall, Crossing is a great story. It kept me reading until the very last page and the ending threw me for a loop. There was nothing about this book that I was expecting and I love it!
