The art of ZEN and FAKING is unique. There are not many sermons in this book. A part about conscience and morality, and part about identity and trust. As a famous author of DRUMS, GIRLS & DANGEROUS PIE, MIDNIGHT DRIVER, Jordan Sonnenblick created a nice character in San. We can directly enter into a struggle, but we can deprive the place we did not expect. Although this may be a general story of "a newborn town in the town", Sonnenblick may cause adolescent anxiety, and the "thinking about thinking" way is a variety of things like basketball and girls' acquisition It helps to start things. When San receives a note including I Ching information ("changed after the road ended --- changed, you passed"), you will see that he improved, anyway. It is a lesson that will lead him to his real identity as he grows up.
Who would like to make it stand out in junior high school days? Of course, San Lee, the main character of ZEN and the art of FAK, is not so. His insight into his own world seems to be unrealistic due to his age - there were so many things in San's heart - a real treat for readers is. His interest in girls students is really full of details, and he's funny associating his fury's anger with a constant lie to his classmates His criticism of humor and sarcasm is fun.
Zen is not just Japanese art. It can be integrated into everyday actions to make it easier and better. In this book Zen is just an argument about archery, but it is very versatile. The art of archery is very similar to the performance. Because it is considered to be physical, it is thought that action is wrong. After reading this book, my prejudice about archery is only physically gone.
