The Ultimate Guide to Healthy Eating for Millionaires: Free Food Options

mbird: I am not quite finished with this book but wanted to write a review! I love reading this book because it reminds me of how I read when I was younger...always coming away from the experience having learned something of value. Whether increasing my vocabulary or a life lesson that brought change, it was time well spent. This book does all of that.
It brings you along the journey of relationships and how others cope with their decisions in life and how others view them from the outside...and does that matter, if so, what is the effect.? As well as questioning what love looks like.
The thick volume may look daunting, but this is such a wonderful read that I can't turn the pages fast enough to know what is going to happen next.
Thank You Min Jin Lee for writing this book and bringing such a heartfelt story that is definitely worth the time spent!
Now back to my reading Free Food for Millionaires!
I felt I needed to come back after finishing the book. While all I previously said held true...I was greatly disappointed in the ending. If it were a movie, I would have wanted to throw something at the TV when it ended! Such a limp ending for such a passionate story.

P. S. Lenzo: After Pachinko - the depth and breadth of generations; history politics, and power - Free Food for Millionaires seemed totally on the surface with its ordinary, smaller themes of women’s lives. At first.

At several points in the narrative I wondered where the story was going, but I needn’t have worried. It found its place perfectly; by the end all the pieces fell together like a well-constructed hat (which was the creative expression of the main protagonist). As an aspiring writer, the craft & skill evident in Min Jin Lee’s writing taught me a lot about how to write a complex story from many different perspectives; as an avid reader, her story had me enthralled. I read it compulsively, unable to stop even when I didn’t have time to read more.

I highly recommend it.

Kindle Customer: Lots to think about there looking at traditional values versus the challenges of modern society. Very readable, probably slightly preferred Pachinko.

Laura: Writing: 5/5 Characters: 5/5 Plot: 4/5
Casey Han — the daughter of Korean immigrants in Queens — craves a wealthy lifestyle she cannot afford, having been exposed to such while on a scholarship to Princeton. She craves “beauty and the illusion of a better life.” Casey balances pride, deeply embedded family traditions, and her emerging sense of self as she struggles to grow up and be the person she is slowly determining that she wants to be. While we follow Casey from graduation through the next five (or so) years, we are also treated to the developing stories of women who are important to her: her mother, a mentor, an acquaintance who rescues her and turns into a close friend. Rather than following a narrative arc, this book seems to follow a Life Arc — twisting and turning with sometimes rapid and surprising (to us and to Casey) shifts. The first novel by the author of Pachinko, you’ll recognize the style and treatment, while this book focuses on a Korean-American family and Pachinko is focused on 20th century Korea.

Although only covering a few years, this book felt epic because of its size and incredible depth. The characters are far too detailed and...
