This book is interesting and very postmodern. I'm not so familiar with postmodernism, so I found it kind of hard to follow. It will also be hard to follow if you're not very familiar with Taiwan. I know very little about Taiwan other than basic history, and so I was often lost or missing out on references. If you're from Taiwan or very interested in it or in the city Taipei then I recommend this book.
