Sometimes you have to come out the church boostore to hangout with Christ.
Free Food for Millionaires is that kind of book. It is not a Christian novel. And
Min Jin Lee, the author, definitely doesn't want this story to be labeled as such. There is profanity and sex and Casey, the protagaonist is such a pill that at times I wish God would have an angel throw a bolt of lightening down on her arrogant head. But there is something about the christian motifs and the importance faith plays upon this disentegrating family that is interesting to me. Great, lean writing. Sometimes Lee overdoes it with all the characterization, but nonetheless, its the kind of story I would take more time to read throught, particular during the summer. Thick book, but light enough to carry in a beach bag. Read an excerpt
here to read what I mean.
