Powerful storytelling with beautiful art. Very happy with the work of Ebony Soy and the delivery by Hot Tropiks. Also loved the additional content in the Hot Tropiks release!
I love the quality of the graphics and the material for the t-shirt! You know it's not going to rip or fade!! My request is to bring back the Hard Mode T-Shirt! Missed the opportunity to get one!!! Thank you!
Above and beyond all expectations. Read it all in one sitting and couldn't put it down. Highly recommend! Plus there's a very fun bonus at the back of the book.
Thanks for bringing this product design to the US :)
A+++ customer service!
I super love the story!
My second time purchasing. Its a great book.
I absolutely loved the story of the first generation child of an immigrant family. It was rather enlightening as the author truly shows how immigrants are an integral part in society. Always have. Always will be.
Perfect gift for my chef nephew! So much cool stuff in general in the shop. Fast easy shipping too.
Excellent quality and very fast delivery.
Hot Tropics provides the best customer service.
Thanks Mr. Ocampo for this amazing survey, I read it almost all in one sitting--spooky, interesting, scary, and thought-provoking. A great read!
Very good story pero a bit short. Could have benefited from a bit more backstory on the husband's motivations as well as following some of his actions.
