We spend a lot of time reading books. Some of them, maybe a disproportionate number, we like. Others, not so much.

Disproportionate because, at least for me, it's difficult to get through 500 pages of something I dislike.

This is one of those occasions where you are encouraged to be constructive in your criticism. Hopefully, with some wit.

Leave a review for a book you didn't like and tell us what to read instead.

I think the very different outlook of Chinese writers is a huge barrier to overcome in works translated from China. The very warrants differ between cultures in the west and cultures in China. Translation doesn't lie just in the words.
