Helpful Score: 3

In light of the Beijing Olympics, I decided to pull this book off my TBR pile, and I'm glad I did. Not as hilarious or acerbic as Bill Bryson, Evans nonetheless brings the tastes and aromas of China to life (both good and bad,) while traveling around China by train, bus, and boat. I would have liked a little more detail about the sights she saw, but overall this is an excellent and often funny travel book, with just enough historical information to leave you wanting to read more about this still-enigmatic and mysterious country.
