Comments from the Book Discussion Group at DeSoto Library regarding our January 2010 selection:

Stealing Buddha's Dinner
by Bich Minh Nguyen

The question was asked, “Would you recommend this book to someone else?”

Sue: "A little too much emphasis on food. . ."

Jane: “Yes. I liked it because I thought she listened and got educated.”

Janine: “Yes. I wondered , though, how much of what she felt was actually from being an immigrant as opposed to just being different from the pack."

Ann: "Why was this a Book-Club-To-Go Kit selections? I was very disappointed!"

Judy: "It was all right but it wasn't one of my favorites."

Georgianna: "It was interesting in the descriptions of the culture clashes. As natives we may not understand what they're [the immigrants] are suffering because we don't know where they're coming from."
