Title: Poor writing doesn't do story justice
Review: I can't agree any more with the reviews that have pointed out the poor writing in this book. As a fan of stories about Chinese Americans and of historical fiction, I was sorely disappointed with this novel; what could be emotionally-moving scenes just aren't because of the "see jane run" kinds of descriptions. There is no skillful subtlety in this novel. I normally don't like to be this publicly critical, but this is one of the only times I've felt this strongly about something.
Is the review positive or negative?
