A Long Trip In a Distant Land by Chieh Chieng
I really enjoyed this book and laughed out loud several times. There is definitely humor in it. The part about Deliverance really made me laugh, I tried to tell my husband between spirts of laughter and he laughed too. I really like how the Lum family had such matter of fact short answers.
Even though there was cussing I'll suggest this book. There wasn't a lot of cussing but there was enough to annoy to me. Melvins Aphorisms were great, and I wish they knew what number 11 meant. Chieh did a really good job with the shifting of the chapters, at first i was a little hesitant about it but it was great. A really good job. The last two sentences kind of confused me but not a big deal.
The Lum family interactions were pretty funny though, maybe some not in the laugh or laugh out loud sort of way but in the ironic but a smile on your face, still classifies as funny kind of way. So I guess humorous would be a better word right?
Part of me thinks Louis should have stayed in Hong Kong, but he probably found more meaning and love in his life, right?
