NY times book review FAIL!

So pissed!!@#!@%!!

I was reading the NY times book review for Chang Rae Lee's new novel, "The Surrendered," but they start out by chronicling the fate of the three protagonists. GREAT. That's like half the book right there.

Granted, I rarely find the end result as gratifying as the whole "journey" (I know, I'm a nerd) of reading a book but this is just ridiculous!

Despite the fact that I just picked up a book about North Korean defectors at Strands this past weekend, I will consider buying this as well. He'll have to redeem himself after I bought "Aloft," another fail....

"With “The Surrendered,” Mr. Lee has written the most ambitious and compelling novel of his already impressive career — a symphonic work that reprises the themes of identity, familial legacies and the imperatives of fate he has addressed in earlier works, but which he grapples with here on a broader, more intricate historical canvas. Though the novel has its flaws, it is a gripping and fiercely imagined work that burrows deep into the dark heart of war, leaving us with a choral portrait of the human capacity for both barbarism and transcendence. "

Kind of excitedddddddddddd...
