Negative Positive
Title: great information, very predictable plot
Review: could not finish book. I was captured by all the great factual information about sailing and the Chinese culture of the mid 1800's but as I was reading it I felt as if Mr Stewart was trying to make a story around this research. As the story unfolded, I found myself saying to myself, " yeah, I saw that coming" it has all the elements of a great tale, too bad it did not catch it.
Is the review positive or negative?
