I try not to let it influence my decision to read a book, but it definitely makes me judge whether or not I think I will like it. I can tell you with no hesitation that when I saw this cover in your Review lineup, I immediately thought "no good for me". Seems like I was right. Thanks for being honest with your reviews, always. It is nice to know where to come for unbiased opinions!Jaime Lesterhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11102596597333629396noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8748092811661673218.post-84399917827898818662011-09-30T16:04:08.279-04:002011-09-30T16:04:08.279-04:00I liked how honest your review was!

It felt pretty loose-jointed to me, not tight enough, and kind of messy. But that actually could be on the translator/editor's end of things, so...yeah. I'm not sure. And I can't read in Chinese, so I can't give a straight answer on whether or not it was on the translator's end or not.

And probably not in the way that makes me want to read this book. Your review is the first time I'm hearing about this book and the cover looked intriguing but the description did not. The fact that I'd have to have patience to get through it probably means it's not for me. Thanks for reviewing it!
