Hessler teaches much about China without getting dry or dull; Hessler's time in China comes off neither aloof nor pretentious and his narration is second to none. This is a very engaging and fast read. Doesn't necessarily make one want to visit China but certainly allows vicarious appreciation of the party structure, social problems, and the way individuals in rural China view the world. Well done.
