What a way to start out 2022! I happened to listen to the audiobook and felt that the audiobook definitely helped bring this story to life, though I would imagine that reading it along might also help with some of the parts that were confusing. 

I know people find this novel funny, and I guess it was definitely DARK humor. For example, in the first few pages, we are introduced to "Generic Asian Man's" parents, and he talks about their current roles. Aka "Old Asian Man" and poor. It's really heartbreaking.

What prevents this from getting a full five-star from me, is I felt like the book took a while to finally get going.  At times I was a bit confused, though I acknowledge this is probably listener error, as well as a potential wish for the author. Generic Asian Man, hopefully, one day Kung Fu Guy, is somewhat an unreliable narrator who is so self-aware and his narration blends reality with fiction. 

I'm EXCITED about the tv show. I think they could do some really unique things with the visuals. IN certain parts of the story where locations or genre seems to change, filters, lighting, music, etc. could really play it up.
