I received a copy of this book for a review website I am "writing" for. It's wonderful. I really enjoy it. I'm about a quarter of the way through and happily look forward to sitting down and experiencing bits and pieces of it when I can.
Essentially, the author chose to investigate why one Powerball lottery had so many winners, many (if not all) of whom had chosen their numbers inspired by a fortune cookie. She travels the country and talks to the winners as well as historical figures in the Chinese food industry. I've learned a lot from it.
The only downside is that it makes me really hungry. It's possible that the next book I recommend will be a Chinese cookbook.
