Overview: Three years after the death of Mao Tse Tung in 1981, China was in transition, emerging from the devastation of the Cultural Revolution.The country had only just begun its leap into the dynamic economic powerhouse it has become. There was no pollution, hardly any cars, and cities like Beijing and Shanghai were still flat. Along with the rest of the country, the criminal justice system was also in flux, and in that environment, I was able to join a tour designed to get a glimpse into her prisons, People's Court, Juvenile Reform School. university law faculties, mediation committees, etc... But in addition to these seldom- seen institutions, this book also provides a glimpse into what it's like traveling with 30 high-powered American lawyers, judges, researchers and advocates spending and eating their way through China in transition.

A highly sophisticated read. The middle had a deliberate pace, but the climax was phenomenal. I would highly recommend this to discerning readers.

Not entirely to my refined tastes. It verged on repetitive in the second act. A more concise edit would have served it well. Unlikely to reread, but a reasonable expenditure of time.

I thoroughly enjoyed the elegance of it. A brilliant concept executed with flair. Just a few pacing choices I would change. Quite impressive overall.

I thoroughly enjoyed the elegance of it. Beautiful writing, though I craved slightly more depth in the lore. Still, undeniably engaging. A very distinguished novel.

I find myself somewhat conflicted. The tempo was somewhat languid, and I found my mind wandering. Not poor, simply average. Perhaps more aligned with a different audience's tastes.
