China Mountain Zhang product reviews

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...

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.

Product reviews for listing 8440: Tales of Aotearoa - 2 - How Maui Slowed the Sun -  Author: Donovan Bixley

Product image for Tales of Aotearoa - 2 - How Maui Slowed the SunDonovan Bixley re-tells the story of how Maui slowed the journey of the sun through the sky each day!

The traditional tale but with Donovan's unique twist and trademark humour. The pictures are bright and bring their own level of humour to the book.

Darryn Joseph ensures that the story is accurate and culturally appropriate.
