China Road: A Journey Into the Future of a Rising Power by Rob Gifford

3.0

Non-fiction. Gifford, an NPR correspondent, travels clear across China, beginning in Shanghai, on Route 312. Along the way we learn about Chinese history and the current political and economic climate. I read this to learn more about the country before I go there for vacation (I leave tomorrow!!). It was perfect. I would like to rate this 3.5 stars, and I would rate higher but I'm a fiction reader and this didn't grab me and pull me in like fiction. Still a quick, worthwhile read.
