review 1: I'm surprised this book doesn't get better reviews. It's much more than a detective novel but I wonder if its dominant grounding in the detective genre is clouding the view of reviewers. As a detective novel, it works well but doesn't stand out; as a highly engaging exploration of the psychology of power and the history of totalitarian leadership in China, it is, I think, outstanding. The mix of poetry, Confucian ethics, history and a rollicking yarn to boot made this one of my best reads of the summer.
review 2: Beh, direi quasi 4 stellette.Un giallo che racconta in maniera critica la Cina contemporanea scandagliandone l’anima criminale e le contraddizioni del regime comunista. Una lettura che scopre un'immagine di Mao servendosi di un’indagine ambientata ... morenella Shanghai dei locali alla moda, delle scuole di pittura e delle feste danzanti, in una storia che ha al centro le cosiddette “favorite di Mao”. Interessante, davvero. less
