Interesting!
But still don't know how it will end. I can't imagine anything.

It is a facinating book. Understanding the relationship between the characters itself is amazing. As a person who had lived in China for years, I think this book has well portrayed China.

Maybe summarizing what's useful in the books into a few pages could have been a better idea since the books' storytelling is very disappointing, and they take up too much space on my bookshelf.
