I read Digging to America because it received so many rave reviews. I just finished it and found it to be rather boring and poorly written. There was no continuous thread that kept my interest; I found myself wondering if I had skipped some pages because the story seemed so disjointed. Also, beginning in Chapter 9, why the sudden change from: "Bitsy did . . ." to "Jin-Ho's mother did . . ." and so on. I didn't get that at all and found it annoying. Maybe I'm missing something??
