Title: Too much garlic!
Product review: I simply did not like this book. I tried hard but could not finish it. The story is a translation so maybe it lost something along the way. I found the characters unappealing and became fed up with all the filth and brutality. And by this I mean the hawking and spitting and other decriptions of forced eating and drinking of bodily products.I read for pleasure and there was no pleasure in this book.Mo Yan is one of China's lauded writers so from a literary point of view he probably deserves the accolades but it is NOT an enjoyable read.
