3.0

Quite a suprisingly good read that I discovered in a small internet cafe in Mexico.

balthazarlawson's review against another edition

1.0

I didn't like this book. It started with great promise but went downhill soon after. The story seemed to lose track of where it was going and what it was trying to say. Plus, some of those things being said were totally pointless and there absence would not have made any difference to the story. I wish they were there and it might have been a better story. The setting and the main character, Inspector Zhong Fong, were the only interesting things in the book. I found the other characters dull, boring and pointless.

No more of this series for me.
