I could not put this book down. James' writing style, and the story he created, formed the perfect marriage of reality and fantasy in the Cult of Mao. From beginning to end, the reader is enamored with Xiajao. His journey is a metaphorical lesson we could all learn from, touching on aspects or questions many of us go through in our lives. The depth you can find in this book are limited only by the reader's willingness to look beyond the words. If you allow James to speak to you through Xiajao, you will find yourselves immersed in life lessons readily applicable to us all.
