This book was filled with a lot of humor. The "Birthday" chapter (the first chapter) in particular was so funny that it made me laugh out loud. I'm a tough critic when it comes to humorous writing. I had to delete one star from my review because there were some chapters that felt a little padded out and probably could have been left out altogether (the "Yut" game chapter). I also think the author held back a little bit. She was writing about her family, after all, and feelings might have been hurt if she'd really let loose.
