This book took me months and months to read -- it was one I would read a little out of before starting to read my "real" book I was into at the moment. Even though it was not a fast read, it was a very good read. This book concentrates on the differences between Americans and Chinese and their countries and ways of life. It was real eye opening and I feel like I learned alot. It makes me feel like I understand the big picture of why we are so different in many things. If you are interested in this kind of comparision, it is worth reading. I am keeping the book. ( )
