Evaluation of this article[edit]

I like how you mention Accidental Asian is a collection of seven essays and short memoirs. However, I'm confused when you explained some of the chapters of the book because just saying chapters is not helpful enough. Personally would like it better to be able to tell if the chapters were essays or memoirs. I would like to see a summary of all seven essays and short memoirs if it is allowed and update the media type as well. The Media type just says hardcover, but the times have changed and there Kindle and paperback version of the book. I feel like the review is good, but it could be more organized because it looks like the reviewers are right after each sentence and it would be nice if there was space. I notice as well that it said "One of his arguments.." at the top of the page and wondering if should really be there? It could be better if you don't start with one of the arguments, but a different ways to introduce Liu's arguments. One more thing is how there was no mention of the reviewer from Chong-Hao Fu and seem there no point of adding the refer to the site. Hopefully this information or my personal view was helpful.
