Title: Hollywood Style, rated high mainly by Westerners
Product review: I read Wild Swans in 1995. Since many of my American friends rated this book highly, I tried to read it again two years later, but I could not finish it. Something is missing in the book from a Chinese point of view. Many of my Chinese friends who are all great writers, have the same opinion as mine: it was written in Hollywood style to appeal to Western readers, but it does not appeal to Chinese readers and writers.I like "Life and Death in Shanghai", "Daughter of China" and "Flying High Out of a Tibetan Valley" better than "Wild Swans". Those three books are true to life.
