Story4 out of 5 stars 375
From within the hopelessness and terror of China's Cultural Revolution, Dai Sijie has fashioned a beguiling and unexpected story about the resilience of the human spirit, the wonder of romantic awakening, and the magical power of storytelling. "An unexpected miracle," raves the Los Angeles Times Book Review, "a delicate, and often hilarious, tale."

I was a little disappointed by this book. The characters and their antics were interesting at the beginning. However, it got to a point where it seemed the author no longer knew where his story was going so he finished the book by having one of the characters leave completely out of the blue. I was quite disappointed with the ending. However, the rest of the book is a good read.
