A Year Without "Made in China"《A family adventure without Chi

This book has shown that the ordinary consumers living without Chinese products would be exhausting and expensive.

As you read you may find yourself surprised as I was how much China produces products sold in America. The author learns a lot during her boycott and the reader learns right along with her. It is inspirational too---it at least makes you think about whether or not you would or could do this! At any rate readers cannot help but become more conscious consumers after reading the book.

What the book lacks is a pairing of this family's decision with a discussion about China. The reader could have benefited from a historical explanation as to why China has infiltrated our economy and why it's difficult to go without purchasing items made there.

Oh well... not a complete disappointment but it wasn't what I expected.

PS.

1 书里面有些章节提到一些作者的个人见解(the author's political insights)TOWARD TIBET（P12)TAIWAN(P21)P27P42P69CHINESE MEDICINE(P87)HK(P58).有些提到的看法我不敢苟同，and those parts are a little bit annoying as well所以上不了4-5颗星。
