media type="youtube" key="FYCZqt5WSOM?fs=1" height="190" width="320" **Book Evaluation** The graphic novel by Yang, __American Born Chinese__, is about three seemily unrelated that in an unexpected twist comes together. The main characters in each tales are danny, monkey king, and Jin. The protagonist is Jin, a second generation immigrant who grew up in the Chintatown of San Francisco but to a predominately white neighborhood. He will take a while to adapt and learnabout his identity without realizing it. The most fantastic thing about this book is everyone can the book, young or eldery because is able to relate to the book or at least certain scene. However, the downside is that there are certain in the book that is in mandrin chinese, sometime I wonder if that phrase or word would have affect the I view the character. Overall, American Born Chinese is a great book to read, I would to everyone comic lovers and novel lovers
