Week One Discussion - Free Food for Millionaires

Free Food for Millionaires**

by Min Jin Lee

The Three Tomatoes really enjoyed this book. It is so well written, with really interesting characters. We didn't want it to end. In fact, we hope she writes a sequel. We give it Two Stars.

This week’s question:
Casey often makes unpopular choices. Why does she make them? With which choices do you agree, and with which do you disagree?

The Three Tomatoes rating system:

***A must read.

** Enjoyable.

*Only if you have nothing else to read.
No stars. Forget about it.
