The Interior: A Red Princess Mystery (Red Princess Mysteries) |
Rating: 5 (out of 5)
Summary: What "made in China" means
Comments: I recently read this for my book club and I really enjoyed it. Lisa See's prose & plot are addictive,1of those books that you want to keep reading to see what happens.
As I was assembling my children's Christmas gifts this year, I thought about all these little parts made in China. Part of the story takes place in a Chinese factory that makes dolls, and in our group we discussed the pros/cons of foreign companies taking their business to China, how it affects the local population. These are all interesting issues that will only become more prominent and important with time. See does a great job of intertwining political & economic issues with fascinating fiction.

Rating: 5 (out of 5)
Summary: authentic and gripping
Comments: I spent 6 wks in Xian working in a hospital. The rules of etiquette were shocking to me until I caught on. This book mirrored for me the nature of interpersonal interactions as I experienced them in China. The novel felt so authentic that it felt like I had been afforded a trip to the interior of the country that I was unable to accomplish while I was in the country.
The story-line was fascinating and I was caught up alalmost all from the start. The characters were so well drawn that I felt I could actually see them in my mind's eye.
I miss China. Thanks for the trip back there, Lisa See. And thanks for a gripping, terrific tale. |

Summary: A banquet for your imagination
Comments: Lisa See guide you with incredible details thru the streets of China and USA. A mistery of inimaginable proportions. Were culture diferences and both goverments, China and USA, manipulates the lives of David Stark and Liu Hulan. Interesting, in this bloody and horrible mystery, a love story is reveiled and make you wonder about love, traditions, cultural revolutions.2cultures so diferent however how they both have so much in common. The ending is surprising. I almost all say I couldnt let it go until I finished it. |

Summary: Wonderful
Comments: Excellant plot, and avoided cliches is trying to otherwise "use" the concept of America and China, men and women in the context of the story. Though on 1st glance it seems like the story could have been seen before, the writing and development sets it apart. It is a well written engrossing story with well developed characters. This is the 1st Red Princess Mystery I have read and enjoyed it - I will make sure to look at the others in this |
