I definitely suggest reading Abercrombie's First Law series before reading this book, so you know all the references and second-tier characters that return in this book. I do feel this book has some flaws. It can get a bit annoying how witty Abercrombie writes every single character in his books, there is no normal dialogue, everybody speaks in clever, quick-witted, biting retorts and there are no heroes at all. Every single character is nihilistic, despicable, and evil. Which, in a way makes the story pointless as he creates a world devoid of hope, there is only killing and more killing. However Abercrombie makes it all just so damn fun. As redundant as his endlessly witty characters are, they make you laugh. Yes, the book fall apart in its last act, and has too much of a fairy tale ending for such a dark adventure and the character of Shenkt is utterly nothing more than a plot device, but for a high-octane revenge story its still a blast.

Very entertaining and extremely relatable - all about disillusioned late-20s ivy grads in NYC!

I thought this book was pretty interesting though I found it to be hard to get into. The begining was boring and some parts throughout I felt were drawn out too much. I did like it though, but wasn't a huge fan of the ending. It was just strange!

** spoiler alert ** I put this book on my Paperbackswap wishlist ages ago (Probably from an ad in the New York Review of Books). I received it just before my train trip to Virginia, and it seemed like a good travel book, so I brought it along and ended up reading the whole thing on the outbound train. I was right -- it was a good travel book. A collection of short stories taking place in pre-WWII China & Hong Kong, it seemed a backward trip in time, as they were arranged with the most modern storyline first, each following story seeming to progress more into traditional families and characters, though I would guess all took place within a decade or two of each other in time. Although occasionally the narrators were male, the sum effect was a grim picture of the few options open to women in the social roles at the time. One notable exception was the story of a male college student, trapped between the contradictions of his high social class, his shame at his parents' opium addiction, and the abuse suffered at the hands of his father. But even this misery was the result of his mother's entrapment in a loveless marriage, and his tumultuous feelings had disastrous consequences for a female classmate, so perhaps it was the exception that proves the rule. Masterfully written and stereotype-defying, it would be a worthy read for any lover of literature.

Good summaries of the declines and falls of various civilisations. Not so good extrapolation and application for the future. Much like the kinds of academic essays I used to write. (Um, in the old days, before I got really good).

This is essentially Epstein's spiritual autobiography. It weaves a convincing fabric from the threads of Buddhist philosophy and psychotherapy. I found it highly readable and entertaining, and very helpful in understanding more of Buddhist psychology. Epstein is one of my favorite Buddhist authors.
