How Did You Find The Ax For The Frozen Sea?

Jump to Comments

I got this from Bold. Blue. Adventure. although I’m keeping my version of it a bit short.

Here are the top five keywords that brought up The Ax For The Frozen Sea:

Fairies – I can only assume that this led to my review of Photographing Fairies, which, incidentally, was a great book that was made into an equally great movie.  It’s British, for all you accent-lovers, and it’s a mystery, for all of you who think it’s about British people just taking pictures of fairies.  Go see and read it; I promise it’ll be worth your while.

Monkey Bridge – As a young Asian woman, I really wanted to like Lan Cao’s Monkey Bridge.  But I did not.  In fact, I thought it sucked.

John Okada – John Okada wrote No-No Boy, which is one of the first novels to address the displacement felt by Asian-Americans, widely regarded as “the model minority.”  Is it any good?  Well, no, but it’s certainly important.

An Invisible Sign of My Own – I loved this book.  Not just loved it, but LOVED it.

China Mieville – I really wanted to like King Rat, because all the scene kids thought it was cool.  But it was not good, and it reminded of why I don’t hang out with people who are too heavily invested in their own little insular scene.  So I guess reading the book kind of served a purpose, even though thinking of the many trees felled to put this tripe on paper makes me a bit sad.
