"It takes a good writer to make 2 years of childhood engrossing, but this guy did it. His family was in Hong Kong in the early 1950s and he relates the adventures of an 8 year old with an adult insight. The fact he was a writer his whole life and he wrote this just before he died made it more interesting."
"Great memoir of the author's ex-pat life as a child living in Hong Kong during the 1950s. Booth paints a vivid picture of the Chinese culture through the eyes of young boy. Plenty of adventure (discovering an opium den to name just one...) A quick and entertaining read."
"The knowledge that the author died shortly after completing it casts no pall over this cheery memoir of growing up British in China with a distant father and an exuberant,adventurous mother; rather, the joy he evidently felt in remembering and recording shine through.....a remarkable achievement."
