Hi everyone, my name is Konstantinos Tsoumas and i’m 19 years old. My friends usually call me Kon.
A fun fact about me is that it’s my first year living in the United States. I recently moved in New York City from Greece.
I plan on majoring in Digital Communications.
One thing i liked about “The Book of Unknown Americans” is the way the writer made the characters interact with each other. For example, i really liked how Mayor was a “disappointment” to his father, because he didn’t join the soccer team, like his brother, but in Maribel’s eyes, Mayor was the only person who was patient enough and really loved and appreciated her for who she was and he always accepted her flaws and was willing to help her improve. So basically he was a hero in Maribel’s eyes, in contrast to the “zero” in his father’s eyes.
One thing i didn’t like in the book is that while i was reading it, it felt like something i have read before. Generally, i liked the story and the way the writer presented the characters and how the plot evolved. However, I feel like it was lacking authenticity. Maybe I was the only one who felt that because coming from Greece, there were a lot of rumors going on about how Americans treated foreigners and especially people from Latin America. But, although I really liked the book, I must admit that I was not impressed when i finished it because it felt like I had re-read the same stuff again.

And let’s not forget about my picture!
