Summary
As Troost relates his gonzo adventure - dodging deadly drivers in Shanghai, eating yak in Tibet, deciphering restaurant menus (offering local favorites such as cattle penis with garlic), and visiting with Chairman Mao (still dead) - he reveals a vast, complex country on the brink of transformation that will soon shape the way we all work, live, and think.
This insightful, hilarious narrative brings China to life as you've never seen it before.

amazing !!! funny !! well narrated and very clever!
i first listened to this book when i was homesick in Japan back in 2016, and since then I just can’t get enough of it. I keep coming back and relistening to this! it’s incredibly funny, clever, and interestingly educating aswell! I can’t recommend this book enough, I listen to it every night to help me get to sleep, and find that you can just jump in at any time. This book is my all time favourite, and I will goto my grave recommending it!
10000/10

really enjoyed this book - excellent!
This book has it all as far as I am concerned! It is interesting, informative, funny and thoughtful - what more could you ask for! It's about the authors travels through modern China and his observations of everyday life for the average Chinese person, from what they eat, work, history, etc - it's not as boring as I have made it sound! I would highly recommend it - I only wish Audible had more of his books on here - I would get them in a flash! Please read it - you will love it - honest!

China at it’s best
Brilliantly narrated, this is the best journey through China I have yet to find. From the hilarious to the frightening, it is a fantastic listen.

Brilliant book
Both highly entertaining and very informative, the author doesn’t sugar coat anything. Excellent narration although it is a tiny bit off-putting to have the narrator of Anne Rice’s Dracula novels telling travel stories!
