refreshing and fun

4 izar

I like the premise, the plot, the narrator and the discussion about cultural appropriation. The writing flows nicely. The pop culture references and the tweets were fun at the start too, but eventually it got too repetitive for my taste. I get that the main character was spiraling, but it felt tedious towards the end. At times, the villain-ness of the main character felt too heavy-handed, verging on rage-bait (or was it just too close to home?). And the ending didn't do the book justice.

Review of 'Yellowface' on 'Goodreads'

4 izar

Yellow Face is a reflection of our society today and of its contradictions. Kuang takes a thought-provoking critical look at the entire literary industry and the effects of racism, privilege, and cultural appropriation. Its gripping plot makes the book a compelling read that you can hardly put down.

Gave me anxiety but incredibly riveting and effective

5 izar

Devoured this in two days, half because it carried me along so effectively and half because I wanted to finish it because it made me anxious. This book accomplished what I understood to be its goals with incredible precision. Some of the satire was a bit broad but it was all eminently believable, as were the characters (all a little bit relatable, all a little bit despicable). Absolutely outstanding book. I'm glad to be done with it.
