"First of all, I'm reading this book as an assignment for my world civ: china class...TBC
Second of all I was rather impressed. It was not a bad book. i expected it to be hard to read and boring, but it wasn't!!! It's a love story. The last chapter had me confused and lost, but over all, not a bad read."
