Family Style: Memories of an American from Vietnam

I don't like rating memoirs, it never feels fair to rate someone's experience. This graphic memoir starts out in a harrowing situation as Pham and his family flee Vietnam, and ends with Pham as an older man becoming an American citizen. I did appreciate the device of using food to represent different times in Pham's life. That being said, I thought the time jumps were a little disorienting/disconnected. One of my favorite parts was actually the few pages at the end where he illustrates talking to people in his memoir about the memoir! I found that highly engaging. The art wasn't my personal favorite. I think readers of graphic memoirs, especially immigrant/refugee stories, will find this highly appealing.
