But I loved it! I've recently gotten into graphic novels, and this popped up as "recommended for me," and it was so cheap ($5.60 when I ordered it), that I thought, "What the heck?" and ordered it. I'm so glad I did!The story was entirely compelling. I loved how the author uncovered all these different versions of her great-grandfather's narrative, showing how hard it is to discover the "truth" about anything). And the mix of photos, drawings, stick figures, and playbills added variety and depth to the story.At the end of the book, Fleming writes, "I started out on this journey with the question, 'Who was Long Tack Sam?' ... And now that I know what a big life he had, I'm left with the question, 'Why was he forgotten?'" Fleming speculates that he was forgotten because maybe... vaudeville died, or he was Chinese, or he was an immigrant. But how much do any of us know about our great-grandparents? I know next to nothing about mine. It is very difficult to keep *someone else's* memories alive, which is all any of us have of people who died before we knew them. This book, however, has made me consider undertaking a similar project about my grandmother's life. Not for publication but for my daughter, who was named after her great-grandmother who died before she was born. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ A classic quest! *by J***N on Reviewed in the United States on March 28, 2014* What can we possibly know about our ancestors? What evidence may we rely upon? Why do people have different recollections of the same events? In following Ann Marie Fleming's quest to know more about her great-granfather, we learn much about the process of history and detection and learn to question the family narratives that have been presented to us. A moving experience. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ One of my favorite books ever *by S***N on Reviewed in the United States on September 12, 2015* I loved everything about this book! The story, both of Long Tack Sam and his great-granddaughter's journey to learn about her ancestor, are amazing and riveting. The illustrations, photos, and newspaper clippings are perfect, as are the history, art, and show biz timelines along the side of the pages.
