Title: Interesting Style Yet Disappointing Content
Product review: Although this is considered one of the author's best volumes, I was rather disappointed at the lack of literary quality that the book offers. The style used becomes better and better as one advances through the book, yet there are few passages which can be deemed to contain truly remarkable prose. The reader can find it useful, however, to read "Soul Mountain" because an interesting overview of everyday-life people dealing with the problems of Communism is given. Considering that I was born in and lived in a communist country for a while, I found it relevant to compare some of the social phenomena related to Chinese Communism to those encountered in Europe in the 1980s.
