Review # 1 was written on 2015-06-24 00:00:00 Mario Vela Found this to be rather shallow... seemed more like a way to try and understand China from a businessman's perspective rather than a linguistic study. Disappointed so I stopped reading

Review # 2 was written on 2010-10-22 00:00:00 Jewelrit Stewart Good idea for a book but execution could have been better. Some of the authors mini-essays contain attitudes that seem quite dated and not sure we needed to include so many I-Ching hexagrams, some of the more modern or historical themed Chinese words were of greater interest to me. Also didn't seem to have had a proofreader that knew Chinese: sometimes the pinyin for the word was wrong and a couple of times the Chinese characters for the word were the wrong ones.
