Negative Positive
Title: Waiting is Informative and Interesting
Review: I would like to thank the author for this lovely tidbit of insight into the cultural life in China (1960's-1980's). As an American who has not been to China, I found this book informative. I have a new appreciation for the Chinese culture that my immigrant neighbors would have experienced at the same time I was coming of age. I will read more of the books by Mr. Jin. For those of you reading these reviews, some of which state he gives too many details, I would like to say this is incorrect. If you are reading in a peaceful place without distraction, you will find all of the details recreate a realistic setting. You will immerse yourself in the sitatuations presented in the book and find you cannot put it down. I read this book in several hours within a week, despite other commitments. It was terrific and I will purchase it for my bookshelf in the hopes to share it with friends and to read again.
Is the review positive or negative?
