Keine aktuelle Diskussion zu diesem Buch. pretty good ( ) Jack Yu, a cop from a Chinese background, has returned to police his old neighbourhood in New York's Chinatown. We follow two other characters as well, both with dreams of escaping--a limo driver and a rich Tong leader's mistress. Prejudice and racism and American society are dealt with, as well as entrenched criminality in the Chinese community. Different perspective. Interesting. I guess I'd sum this up by saying that it shows promise but didn't quite hit the mark for me. The setting is great: Chinatown is alive and vibrant, seedy and jaded (no pun intended). However, the plot was a bit uneven but lacking in drive. The main character is reasonably well drawn but I never got a real sense of what made him tick. Chang seemed to set us up to root for the murderer, but then turned him/her into someone that left a bad taste in the mouth. Still, the promise was there and I might try #2 someday to see if Chang grows into his work. keine Rezensionen | Rezension hinzufügen
