I read it a couple of months ago before visiting China after recommendations on here. I wanted to get a ‘feel’ for the country before travelling. Well worth reading.
Fantastic book which gives a great inside into China through several generations and an insiders view of how the communist utopian dream went horribly wrong.
Incredible book!
brilliant
Such a good book, enjoy it!
I’m trying to get into it, I just find it kind of heavy! At least at first.
Really good book. My teenage daughter is reading it now.
Stick with it, fabulous book.
One of my favourite ever books. It’s difficult to keep track of all the names, but well worth it.
Excellent book. A fascinating story.

I read it years ago and am afraid I have forgotten it . I do remember enjoying it though.
Terrifying. 1984 come to real life.
Wonderful, definitely stick with it.
One of the best books I’ve ever read!!!
Amazing story. Lots of characters and tons of descriptions (which makes it a long book) but sooooo worth a read! Enjoy.
