I enjoyed A Hundred Flowers from the very first page to the last. I was moved and inspired to learn of this time and culture. The story was very touching. I am giving this book a 4 star and I am passing it on to our local high school.

My rating system is as follows:

5 stars - Excellent, Worth Every Penny, Made It Into My Personal Library!
4 stars - Great book, but not a classic.
3 stars - Good overall, generally well written.
2 stars - Would not recommend based on personal criteria.
1 star - Difficult to read, hard to finish, or didn't finish. Wouldn't recommend purchasing or reading.
