I first read this book when I was 10 years old. It was my introduction to Chinese culture and I have been interested in it ever since.

This book is not just a fascinating glimpse into another time and place though.. It is a thoughtful, endearing look at humanity at it's greatest and at it's worst.

I will never forget these people they have made such an impact on my life. Obviously I highly recommend this book. I never even blink when people ask me my favorite book of all time it's been the same since I was 10 and it will always be "The Good Earth."
