Reader comments
The author's writing style is smooth and simple, making it easy to understand. And I especially like the historical celebrities mentioned in the book. Their stories make Huqiu more vivid and interesting. However, I kind of disliked some of the fictional characters in the book, which felt a bit inconsistent. Overall, this is a book worth reading, especially for those who are interested in Suzhou culture.
