review 1: First of all my stars interpretation (since nowhere within Goodreads I found it defined...) 5 stars means for me a book who changed my life (a copernican revolution!) not necessarily aesthetically beautiful; 4 stars means a masterpiece; 3 stars: I enjoyed it very much. 2 stars and 1 I don't usually use it because now thanks to Goodreads I filter the books and buy only books above 3.75 read by many people. So I liked BIG IN CHINA very much, read it in few days and found it very useful for better understanding Chinese people.
review 2: So. Much. Fun! I don't care about China and I don't care about music. I care about people having fantastic opportunities in life and making the most of them. Most people are like: no, no, no not that either and complain that no... morething interesting ever happens to them when really it is that they REFUSE to let anything interesting happen. This is about the opposite, and about that fear when life is fantastic that really it is just the circumstances of them moment and if anything changes you might never have another opportunity Like This. (But you always do, if you say yes.) less
