I really liked it then, so when it was chosen as an Oprah book and I saw it in the store I picked it up to glance through it. Imagine my surprise when I was drawn in from the first page and so I bought the book. It was a nice surprise to...” see full review » see other reviews » |

“This book is a little depressing (not that it bothered me, just saying). It is true to life, and gives the impression that all we work for is meaningless in the end. ”

“I can see why this book is considered a classic. It has a timelessness about it that crosses cultural lines. It starts off interesting as it's the story of Wang Lung's marriage and his families struggle to survive. As the story progresses and his family grows I began to lose interest and eventually I was just trying to finish. By the end of the story I had lost most all sympathy for Wang and felt like he deserved what he got in the end. Which may have been exactly what the writer wanted for all I know.”
