Soo stooooooopid

This book is so stupid...it's obvious that a elementary school kid wrote this. Tries to be all philosophical and insightful and touching at the same time...the only thing it touched was my trash can after i got through the first 2 pages. Poor read...not even worthy for on-the-toilet perusal.

P.S. I only put 1 star cuz I couldn't give it a 0.

China through a Child's Eyes.

Qian Gao's captivating book captures the turmoil within modern China -- from a child's perspective. Ranging from cities to ancient monuments, the young author interweaves respect for her heritage with the realities of her contemporary homeland. On another level, the reader also senses Gao's internal conflict as she reconciles her American upbringing with her Chinese heritage. All considered, West to East : A Young Girl's Journey to China is an insightful and captivating first-hand account of the world's largest nation.
