reviewed Stone of Heaven: Unearthing the Secret History of Imperial Green Jade on January 04, 2011
Stone of Heaven
Fascinating history, but the authors really needed a good editor. The first and last sections of the book were amazing, great history, exciting stories of sneaking into Burma. The middle bit was the problem for me. Chapter after chapter of socialites buying and selling jewelery got very old very fast. Levy and Scott-Clark are fantastic reporters who are at their best in long-form journalism, not so much in writing books.
