Street of Eternal Happiness: Big City Dreams Along a Shanghai Road

Street of Eternal Happiness by Rob Schmitz is a free NetGalley ebook that I read in early May.
This book is a bowl overflowing with noodles of information that are slippery with a piping hot ethnographic broth. Although it may seem odd, I was reading in an environment in near-silence, yet I kept thinking, "TOO LOUD!" Each paragraph is bursting with people and places with such intensity and urgency in a way that completely depicts how busy the street really is. I'd recommend this as a book to read while you're watching tv in a crowded public space, on a busy city bus, or to peek into occasionally while chaperoning a group of children at Chuckie Cheese or teenagers at a pop concert.
