Summary: From Yams to Beijing
Comment: Mao's Last Dancer is the best book I've read in a while. It's a book that grabs you and pulls you into thier celebrations, and their traditions. Li Cunxin is an excellent story teller and makes you invision what is going on in his life. I would recomend this book to anyone. It's a feel good boook, you want him to do right by his family name and become someone his village to be proud of. Pick this book up, you won't be disapointed.

Summary: an unforgettable journey
Comment: Li Cunxin skillfully, yet simply reaches out and tugs at our hearts with this unforgettable memoir about growing up in China during the Cultural Revolution. With poverty and starvation a constant concern, the Li family warms our heart by illustrating that sharing and caring for each other is the fundamental breath of life, while happiness is being together. Young Cunxin is granted an opportunity to go to dance academy and make something of himself. Little does he know the changes and challenges that lie ahead. Once I opened this book I couldn't find the will power to set it down. I felt as if I'd become part of the family. This read will definently draw tears, smiles, and laughs. Add this one to your collection!

Summary: Heartwarming story
Comment: Whilst this wasn't a great work of literature, the story was tender and embracing. I couldn't put it down and even on closing the book I was still left with the emotion of Li's life story.
