Title: When Selfish People Think They Can Write (books like this become bestsellers)
Product review: First let me get into the literary values of this book: None! Secondly, when the Houston Chronicle writes 'told simply' readers should know that they're in for a 12-grade writing level.There's nothing but selfishness permeating this book. On top of that, it is written so badly, it hurts. He managed to make me want to finish the book for two reasons:1) It is against my principles to start a book and not finish it (except for Pamuk's 'Snow'- so much for Nobel Prizes)2) I wanted to see exactly how far this self-righteous memoir-writer's self-centrism really went. I discovered to my dismay, it went too far.That being said, if you really want to learn more about Communist China during Mao's regime, grab a history book (I know I will).
