Title: I hate Mao
Review: I hate Mao, would have been a more appropriate title for this book, as it is obvious that Jung Chang does. While everyone is entitled to their own opinions, it should be presented as such, rather than in a book that is meant to rewrite history. Jung Chang tends to simplisticly interpret specific actions of Mao, without placing them in the wider context of the disarray that existed in China. The reader cannot help but feel that Jung Chang is forcing her subjectivity onto the reader. Any profound revelations of Mao is lost in this poorly written book.
