American Born Chinese is a fast-paced, and quick-witted graphic novel. Although I can’t say that I thoroughly enjoyed it, it was still fairly adequate. I liked how all three story lines came together in the end. The characters are well developed for such a short novel. The underlying message of self-acceptance shined through the sometimes overly dominating stereotypes. The art is what brings this graphic novel to a whole new level. The colorful images fill in all the blanks left by the sparse text.
