This is a most riveting portrait of contempory China. I was completely absorbed in the tales and observations.

I am a sinophile and have visited China several times. My wife is Chinese so I live with the culture on a daily basis. The story in this book was interesting but more interesting was that the author picked up on every nuance of the culture and described it accurately.
If you're interested in contemporary Chinese culture this book is well worth your time. Don't hurry through it, not much happens.
