On Such a Full Sea - Closing Thoughts

This book has had a lot of interesting twists and turns but I think we all enjoyed reading it. I think the most interesting part about this whole book was the world that Chang-Rae Lee set up. I mean, it was so indicative our own society, with the class separation of the charters, open counties and the working towns. I think Fan's journey reflects and reveals a lot of the horrible truths not only about the world she lives in, but about the people who run it. However, I don't think that Fan ever wanted to "fight" the system and barely took it into consideration on her journey. I think this sentiment reflects how each of us have some "issue" with the system in our own world, but don't try to, or even find it necessary, to "fight it."
