RandomAnthony’s review of The Orphan Master's Son > Likes and Comments

I think you just hit on a whole new business...you'd be the first book bookie. A new addiction for all of us bibliophiles.

I've been on the fence about this one, but your review was very reassuring.

In movies, by the way, this is called the Slumdog Millionaire effect.

Whaaaat? You mean everyday life in impoverished countries doesn't involve mortifying dance numbers in train stations?

The cover of this book bothers me. It's ugly and cheap-looking.

And since you wanted a dame's opinion on that other book, maybe you should get Eh's opinion on this one. She's Korean or something.

great review, thanks

Thanks, Cheryl and Jeff! And David, the cover isn't that good, true. The tiger theme runs through the book. It's important to the scene where the people in tiger suits dance around the public square before the protagonists discover true love.

Eh! may be Korean, but I'm afraid to ask her because I think asking her to be the token woman AND token Korean might be overkill.

She's also the token short person.

Yep, you've nailed it more than a year ago: the awards are pouring in. Nice call!
