In Free Food for Millionaires, the author Min Jin Lee shows that there is good and bad in every culture. Her description of each characters came to life and it seemed as if I could relate each of them to someone in my life. We are different yet we are the same. The problems that crop up in everyday life for Casey, the main character, shows the similarities of other cultures. The way the main character and the other people in her life handled it show the uniqueness of the Korean culture. All of the book club members enjoyed the book. I thought this was a juicy, sad, happy interesting book with a solid ending.

One review compared it to a Victorian novel. I agree, as it is a book that is plunged into and records the lives of Korean/American families - their culture, successes, failures and problems. The reader is left puzzled, cheerful, angry, inquisitive and, at times, satisfied.
