A book that is historical,filled with suspense, politics and the results of the infamous uprising in China and massacre in Tiananmen Square in 1989. I know I should be reviewing this book in itself, but as a bystander, so to speak, I would like to include the following: I worked at the University of British Columbia in the 1980s, and a contingent of some of the professors I worked with had just left for China. They arrived in their hotel just as the massacre began. It was terrible and they were trapped and witnesses to the event. I will never forget the fear of maybe never getting my professors out of China safely. One in particular in the group had never been to China before. This uprising cast itself upon many unwary people who found themselves in the same situation from many countries. I am sure as if I were there that this book would include the terror, fear and death I remember seeing on TV and knowing that our university was frantically trying to bring back our professors. I will rewrite this review when I can reread the book.

Wasn't crazy bad, having some insight into the student revolutions in the late '80's, but overall not very engaging. I was often wondering if San Francisco was so racist and ugly toward the Chinese community (where all of Lili's angst came from). ( )

I'm not a fan of thrillers and this book reminded me why. That said, it did mix the political landscape of China in 1989 with the plot in a way that didn't seem forced or false. ( )

Met the authors at a book signing- although this is a fast-aced thriller, I found the historical aspects of the student uprising in China in 1989 the most interesting aspect. Definitely recommend for those who like learning a little history while reading a good story. Perfect ending ( )

Just a great read. Fun, adventurous, suspense-filled novel. The reader gets the added bonus of an extremely well-researched novel set in China. One really gets a feel for China and its customs. Would have been a terrific book club read. ( )
