The Magical Life of Long Tack Sam: An Illustrated Memoir

I wanted to like this.
The art wasn't to my taste. AMF says ‘I couldn't draw very well' and that she had been run over, so she had Stick Girl. I didn't love Stick Girl but due to the quality and presentation of the photos and other visual it reminded me of fifth grade reports.

AMF doesn't owe me anything and is allowed to set the parameters of the story she wants to tell, but it seems like she wanted to say more about immigration and didn't. It feels like a missed opportunity.

Oh and * that didn't correspond to anything on the page was confusing and annoying. Use an arrow or other symbol, if one is even needed, ugh.

My favorite part of this is the very beginning where she explains how she's (part) Chinese, born in Japan with a Korean birth certificate.
