Quite a light book - it has a potential to be heavier, given the subject it discusses and it simply isn't (not that I mind that it be heavier - I think that would make it even more interesting!). The dialogues are a bit weird and unnatural - I feel like the Chinese villagers in this talk as if they are literally talking in translated forms of their own language. Why does everyone use "Bitch Bastard" to curse? I don't know. The ending is a bit rushed - I would love to see a longer, fleshed resolution. But 4 stars if you take this book as something light and funny and you don't expect more from it.
