Title: Huge disappointment
Product review: I read this book while spending a few weeks in Shanghai recently, and it was torture to wade through Dong's turgid, overblown writing. What is most disappointing is that this could have been an absolutely fascinating book, but in Dong's inept hands, the history of Shanghai is rendered dull and academic. A truly dreadful book.
