Title: Skip it
Product review: I rarely encounter books that are so overblown it feels like running up-hill trying to get through them, but this book certainly made me feel this way. Stella Dong, I have come to discover, is a journalist and as such really loves to make inflated claims and quote people non-stop. Really I'm only reading this book right now because it's the only one I have to learn more about Shanghai. I use the term 'learn' very loosely and with a great deal of caution. Her writing is so sensationalist I have trouble trusting a lot of what she says. The search continues...
