Title: TOO FLAKY. NOT RECOMMENDED
Review: I don't know if you could consider my review a fair review, being I didn't go beyond page 25, but I'm going to tell you why. It was too out there, too flaky. Going to find a wise man who can tell the village people "how a plague learned to count". Come on! It was like Neanderthal man asking questions in the only way he could relate. It's suppose to of taken place in the "Year of the Tiger 3,337 (A.D. 639) but you get, "....a Great Root of Power, if such a thing exists, will probable be worth it's weight in diamonds and look like a dog turd.", modern day garbage slang/terms. Some 92yr old woman calling YuLu "The Imperial prick" IT DID NOT JIVE. It did not flow in any way. I could see that even if it had a convincing story it would be a job to read, not a pleasure.I realize this book is billed as "A Novel of an Ancient China That Never Was" but I found it to be FLAKY. Flat
