Bamboo Wang _iffel1993 — This was the very interesting story about the first man to cross the United States in an automobile. It was amazing to hear about just how challenging an undertaking that was back in the first decade of the 1900s. Cars were a lot different back then and so were the roads (or lack of roads) to drive them on! I listened to this as an audiobook and was quite dismayed with Ken Burns reading style. It was extremely wooden and over dramatic. They should have had someone else read it. I did, however, enjoy the music sprinkled throughout.

庄 青 _ing_z — This was a nice love story. The characters are bitter and they evolve quite a bit. It was an okay for Lori Copeland.

Devil Incarnation taurlooks6a62 — This book probably wasn't quite what I had expected and the writing style/approach reminded me very much of Bill Bryson (dry humour, commenting on odd facts and people's weird habits) but it was still interesting enough to hold my attention. Tim Ecott's life was characterised by his dad's career in the British army and most of his early years had been spent abroad. In his teenage years, his family emigrated to South Africa and from then on his life continued to be divided by time spent in South Africa and time back at home in Northern Ireland. The book gives you an unusual perspective, i.e. a tale of a Irish/British family emigrating to South Africa in the late 1970s and their steady decline into poverty. It's written with much dry humour and wit, discussing the social climate in Jo'burg's suburb Hillbrow in the 1970s and 80s. I suspect that some people might consider "Stealing Water" to be a shallow account of life in SA (Ecott only passingly touches upon the wider social and political issues) but I don't think that was his aim anyway. More a family history and a memoir about, what Ecott considered, his secret, and perhaps shameful, life in Africa.
