American Born Chinese, a graphic novel that frankly was a fun switch up to read. When I was younger I used to read a couple comic books every once in a while, and occasionally a graphic novel but not one like American Born Chinese. American Born Chinese was literally like a comic book in a novel. The subject on racism is very touching, the message I got from the book is be yourself and don't try to fit into something you're not or be someone you're not. Now with this being a graphic novel in almost a comic book form it made me question, who is the intended audience for this book? The subject of racism is a touch subject for some people, but was this book made for kids in their adolescent stages as an example of who they should become or was it made for a more mature audience to broaden their perspective on the issue of racism. No matter what age the audience is, I think anyone would enjoy American Born Chinese.
