Negative Positive
Title: Deceptively well written
Review: This book is not written with the outlandish style and genius of many contemporary writers. It's extraordinarily simple, both in its prose and in the story it tells. But something about it drew me in and kept me reading - maybe it was the sense that I was observing something about Chinese society that I'd never seen before, maybe it was the story itself. But I couldn't help but keep reading and was glad I did. This story captures the complexity of human relationships with a sort of Zen simplicity that takes deceptive skill - skill that is all too easy to miss perhaps.This is a very well written book. A very well thought out examination of human emotions. I recommend it highly.
