My Thoughts

THE JOY LUCK CLUB was a very interesting read. I really enjoyed the nods to Chinese and Chinese-American culture. I especially enjoyed reading the mothers’ stories and their hardships in China and how they came to the U.S. It was interesting to see the differences between the mothers and the daughters.

My Thoughts

I really enjoyed the fantasy and science aspects of A WRINKLE IN TIME. However, I felt like the book was way too short, Meg annoyed me, and I have so many questions. I think if the story had been fleshed out a little more, my questions would’ve been answered. As far as Meg, I don’t know how that can be helped. I really liked her brother, Charles Wallace, and I’m glad he was along for the ride. Otherwise, I probably would’ve hated the book. I probably would’ve like the story better if I read this when I was younger.
