4.0

First off, let me say how much I like Ai's work. Very provocative and thought provoking pieces.

Now, for the book.

This was a good read. An interesting memoir and had some touching moments.

That being said, it was not as shocking or activist as I thought it was going to be.

Still a great memoir.

Some pretty fascinating and eye opening moments too.

3.8/5

dnf - was skipping some of the wordy, earlier chapters that were dragging on. Did catch the last 3 chapters which were more engaging but not enough so to go through everything.
