Lately I've gotten interested in the Chinese culture and history so I thought I might enjoy this book, and I did. It sort of reads like a very long news report (but not boring) or biography, starting off with a very intriguing chapter about a deadly and bizarre shipwreck off the coast of New York.
The author goes into great detail in the front of the book to describe each person being written about as well as explaining how Chinese names are supposed to be read (and how many Chinese adopt Americanized names).
If you like a little bit of history, a little bit of Chinese culture and a little bit of crime, you'll like this book......more than a little bit :)
