We are thrown in as chaotic changes occur around the world of the main character David Cameron. ![]() It has lots of details of the surrounding, but it lacks the detail of emotions and characters, but again it’s very short. The love interest is short here and kills that were very crude, but still wasn’t sure by whom they were made.īreakfast is Severed is a well written short story. The main character David Cameron, seems like a strong character, but again it was too short and a lot of details about him were missing, for me. It was a very fast paced read as you are thrown to story in mid action. It was a bit confusing for me with all the action, but the reason for it was not sure to me. The premise of the story looks very interesting and I think I would like to read the full book and see where and how things will change. It’s a very short story, more like a teaser for the full length book to come. ![]() Note: I received a copy of this book in exchange for an honest review. ![]()

Because Kung-Fu Guy is the highest level he can reach in Hollywood as an Asian. The main character of Interior Chinatown, Willis Wu, is an actor who plays the generic Asian guy, but he wants to one day become his childhood dream “Kung-Fu Guy”. And reading Willis Wu’s efforts to get rid of this stereotype despite all racism and prejudices was a bit of a challenging experience for me.
