After reading this book, I could not disagree with this review found on Amazon.com. This book left me hanging.:
There are several loose ends left dangling, some bad behavior toward others on Casey's part and an unlikely and too coincidental passing acquaintance with an old bookseller whose wife was crazy about hats, as is Casey. When he dies, he leaves all her hats to Casey--which just might just be the start of something. The author runs out of steam after 512 pages and ends the book without really finishing it, but it is a thoughtful treatment of many of the questions Lee raises, and an emninently worthwhile debut. --Valerie Ryan

With the long (an impressive) list of Asian American supporters and contributers I was hesitant on how great this book would truly be. After reading it, all I can say is that all the accolades are true! I was definitely impressed after reading it. Enjoyed all the characters and artistic styles. I wish I had stories like these to read when I was growing up. I hope they come out with a second anthology! My copy is staying on my shelf for a very long time.

some great ideas. who would have thought to use VHS tape to create a bow. But it still ends up in the trash.

I heard all the raves on Wicked. I read it but it took me forever to finish the book. I picked up the Son of a Witch right around the same time I received the first. Strange enough, I enjoyed Son of a Witch far more than I enjoyed Wicked. I finished it faster too!
