If I follow Goodreads rating system, 3 stars means "I like it." Well, that doesn't exactly cover all kinds of books. Although this was a novel, it felt a little jerky, episodic, not flowing well. But that was the point -- the experience of someone who had been imprisoned for years, including 9 month...
The thought of 9 months in a solitary 4 foot cell is horrifying. That is how this book starts out. Ja Feng survives this wrongful imprisonment and is released into society. But how does one reenter normal society after an ordeal like this? I highly recommend The Cave Man.
