I've read the first 50 pages of Donald Duk and I am very interested to see how this book will pan out. I'm very happy that we've moved away from Sui Sin Far's flowery writing and I pray that Chin doesn't leave me with the same dissatisfied feeling that Ng did. I'm interested because, while we've always been reading about family, it's mostly been about married adults or very young children trying to assimilate several years ago. For once, we're reading something relatable in that Donald is young, the writing is contemporary, and some of us might've had someone like Donald in our school (or maybe we felt/feel like we were/are Donald now!).
On another note, I'm curious to see how his friendship with Arnold will develop. Perhaps Arnold's respect and curiosity for the Chinese culture will spark Donald's?
Also, will that man on the roof reappear? I'm still trying to figure out his purpose.
I hope Donald Duk is as interesting as it began!
