I had a hard time finding ANY reviews :P. If you're used to Chinese literature, I'm sure you're going to love this one! Maybe you can borrow it from somewhere instead of buying it :) Well, I definitely didn’t come across those raving reviews! I had a hard time finding ANY reviews :P.

Thanks for voicing that out. You're so right that I should take their opinions with a grain of salt, because there's bound to be misunderstanding. It's such a different world. Interestingly the book won a few American awards--apparently some people got it. I hope you get to read it soon. Can't wait for your thoughts! Claire– exactly my thoughts.
