Title: Easy to read, hard to put down, Chinese culture, martial art
Review: My flatmate was reading this book and I read a bit of it when he wasn't home. I had to keep reading it, so did our other flat mate. The three of us were taking turns to read it at the same time. My flatmates are going to China to teach English, I am interested in martial arts. This book makes you want to go to China to teach English and learn martial arts.This novel is easy to read, funny in parts and discusses some of the political problems that face foreigners in China. The author shares his experiences with the special police when trying to travel with friends, and explains how the police tried to stop famous martial art instructors from teaching him. Salzman also intrigues you with his many different martial art instructors and the styles he learnt, coupled with Chinese calligraphy.A must read, wonderful book.
