Balzac and the little chinese seamstress_alisha

The beginning of this book is pretty boring. But once you keep on reading it gets more interesting. Its about two boys who move in the mountains in a small little village. They are moved there for re-education. They soon meet a little chinese seamstress from a near by village. I think one of the boys starts liking her. Both the boys smoke, but the other boy is pretty much addicted to cigs. During rainy days he gathers the remains of past cigs and creats one cig. Im excited to read more of this book, its pretty good so far.

ty son of the revolution

This book started a little slow and in the beginning it was ver factual and gave a good perspective of what life was like for people of all ages to live under Mao's control. I am not very far into the book yet but it is starting to pick up and i think that it'll be a ver enjoyable book to read.

Little Chinese Seamstress Andrew

this book started off a little slow but got better. i like this book so far because it follows two teenagers caught up in the revolution. these two characters are in a small village located in the mountains and are there for a re-education. there is a seamstress in the next village and one of these characters is begining to fall in love with her. im not very far in the book but it is good so far.
