I chose this book because the cover looked sort of Chinese or Japanese, and one of my favorite DCF books from a couple years ago was Where the Mountain Meets the Moon, a Chinese fantasy. The book jacket said it was a story about a teenage girl who might be sent to work in factories against her will. I just heard about this on the radio and would like to know more. Also, the book has a map at the back and I love to follow where a character goes on a map.
So those are the reasons I THOUGHT I would like the book. It turns out I was not that thrilled by the story. I felt really sorry for the character and some awful details in her life, but in my opinion, not much happens during the whole book. Do you think a book with a strong character can make up for an unexciting plot?
