    Good book @ a great price

    The book was a good book at a great price. I needed this book to read for college. This was one of the cheapest copies that was new online. I also got free shipping because I bought all my school books online at barnes and nobels. Shipping was good. The price was great.

    more from this reviewer

    1/2 the book was awesome and thought-provoking, the other 1/2 bored me a bit. . .

    I would have preferred that Ms. Chang focused her book more on the lives of these "factory girls" as her title states. I personally found the chapters that details her ancestors' roots in China a bit boring and I don't quite see the connection to people like Min or Chunming or any of the other girls that were central to Ms. Chang's book.
    On the chapters that did focus on these young Chinese girls and why they had to, or chose to escape their farm lives and to work in a factory, was thought provoking and well written. I also thought Ms. Chang's viewpoint was honest in terms of showing that the Chinese are money hungry and willing to deceive and be dishonest to get financial security. Overall, I thought the book was enjoyable when Ms. Chang focused on sharing with us the lives of those young women but found it difficult to absorb the parts with all that Chinese history about her ancestors.

    Eye Opening

    After reading this book, I am not sure you want to buy anything made in China.
