In the world of Zhang, the new charioteers are human-powered kites, racing above New York in a brief grab at glory. The new ultimate thrill for wealthy urbanites is to flirt with interactive death in illegal speakeasies. The opulence of Beijing has brought a new cultural imperialism. And a new generation lives in fear and hope. It is a new world in which Zhang is still finding his way...

Review by: tucker (Karl)
Dated: 2nd of January, 2004
Simple really. It bored me.
The characters had depth, but were low-energy... meaning they didn't really grab me, had no real focus and all seemed to be a little vague about their place in the plot.
I struggled to make it through the first 3 chapters, cruised through the next couple, and basically skimmed the rest of the book, I found it that watery.
Overall, not impressed, can't say much good, so won't say any more.
Random listing from 'Books'...
Over the bridge where the hills were rough, where there wasn't much food (not nearly enough), where things were bad, and times were tough... lived Willy and Billy and Silly Goat Gruff.
Scott Tulloch's refreshing new spin on an old tale is absolutely hilarious and will be loved by children and adults alike!
