My Reviews
If you like bad writing, boring characters and a dumb plot then this book is for you. If you are an avid reader then you will find nothing surprising or unique about this book at all. I listened to the audiobook while cleaning otherwise I wouldn't have read past the first page.
The many perspectives draw you in and make you feel like the fly on the wall getting to experience it all. The book was a roller coaster with highs and lows but ending in a way that made the ride a thrill.
The audiobook is one of the best listening experiences I've had with a book.
The book is about a lifelong, intimate friendship between 2 women in China. Their story begins just before the age of 6 through the end of their life. The book draws you to experience each phase of their lives. You begin the journey with traditional footbinding. A painful and sorrowful story that parallels our own modern day stories. We may not bind our feet, but we still have our own forms of bondage that we suffer through.
From a skeptics point of view, definitely not convincing. From a Christian point of view, you'll get what you want from it. From my point of view, a waste of a book. If you've never read an inspirational book, you might get a little pick me up from it. Otherwise, there are many, many more inspiring books that you could use your time reading than this one. I'd skip this and recommend reading 90 minutes in Heaven.
