Summary: Ideal for anyone interested in Social History!
Comment: I did read this book for a class, but as a major in History I realize that this book is ideal for any person interested in Social History, not just of China, but of any country. I personally am not interested in social history, but I still found the book to be rewarding and educational. It really helped to demonstrate the way young people react to situations as opposed to the older generations reactions. A Definite must have.

Summary: A Moving and Beautifully Written Book
Comment: I read this book for a college class on East Asian History. I don't often enjoy required books, but this was an exception. "Family" filled me with many emotions; while reading it I cried (or would have if I hadn't been in a public library), I was overjoyed, hopeful, despondent. Pa Chin is especially good at showing how his characters influence and are influenced by society. He makes you really care about his characters and believe what they believe. "Family" is a good choice if you like novels that focus on society; for example, "Middlemarch","Vanity Fair", "The Jungle", "A Tree Grows in Brooklyn". It is indeed a classic.

Summary: Ew
Comment: I really, really didn't like this book. It presented good ideas, but I hated the writing style. It seemed preachy and bland. However, the issues that were adressed made up for its dryness.
