Format:Paperback
Nothing short of a holodeck will take you back to 1900's China unless you read Spring Moon. I would not be surprised to see this book on a list of required reading for anyone studying Chinese culture. A tale of love, war, family ties. It is all there. The plot, while difficult to follow for light readers, is engaging and thoroughly entertaining. Not for the weak at heart, but if u are willing to devote some time (it is near 6oo pages in paperback) you will not be disapointed!

This book is the "Chinese Gone With The Wind." i fell in love with it the first time i read it. It's so real and so beautifully written. Spring Moon is a character that i'll never forget.

Format:Paperback
it is a good boook for the purpose of history, but the overall content is too exagerating and too confusing for an everyday reader to understand

It took me awhile to finally start reading but when I did I couldn't put it down. The characters become real and the descriptions bring you back to 1900's China.

Good book, but too long and too confusing
I had to read this book for my 9th grade history class. I'm a really slow reader, and at 600 pages, it took me forever to read. Read more
