"It's a big read, but Country Driving is easily the most comprehensive, well researched and written travel books about China. Funny and warm, it shows a realistic look at what is happening in China outside the cities - without the extremes. I appreciated how much he had researched everything, I felt like I didn't need to take it with a grain of salt. "

Current negatives, and positives, facing the gay community throughout Asia. Very interesting read, extremely funny and well written. "
