Title: This book is one of the worst I have read!
Product review: This book was just plain awful. The writing was repetitive and the book was difficult to understand. There was also too much flowery prose - the constant description drew away from the potentially interesting plot. Furthermore, the main character was not likeable to me. He was selfish, self-absorbed and did not have a desire to connect with others. He was too withdrawn into his own pain and whined too much. Though his life was a hard one - it certainly wasn't as hard as those of his Chinese compatriots who labored on the tobacco plantations. His constant philosophying and dissatisfaction greatly irritated me. Also, Lowe takes credit for the pagoda which others built. He actually does not do anything of use throughout the book. I do not recommend that this book be read by others.
