Rating  - Not the same calibre as Snow Flower
This isn't a bad book but it isn't in the same league with Snow Flower and the Secret Fan.
Rating  - Another good book by Ms See
What I like best about Lisa See is usually not the novel in itself, but the detailed, and genuine aspects of China and its culture. I really enjoy learning chinese words and the traditions of this unique country.
The story is a mistery/thriller that revolves around the construction of the biggest Dam in the world, the impact that this will have on China's culture and the discovery of a very important artefact that could also change China's history, forever. In between there are gruesome murders and religious cults, and the rekindling of love between american lawyer Stark and his chinese wife Liu Hulan. Together they'll try to solve the murders and the mistery and, hopefully, save their love.
Rating  - Another Winner!
Lisa See has me hooked!.....Housework and duties were calling my name...but they were easy to forget once I opened Dragon Bones.....See writes a compelling mystery, and it is impossible not to "get lost" in her books.
Rating - The perfect novel!
All of the ingredients were present to make Dragon Bones the perfect novel: the characters were so developed and complex they practically jumped off the page; the plot was multi-layered with interesting twists and turns; Lisa See's engaging writing style and pace made for an enjoyable read; and the depth of information about Chinese culture and way of life rounded out the storyline.
I would recommend this for anyone looking for a five star engrossing read that you just won't be able to put down.
I read one other book by the author, Snow Flower and the Secret Fan, which I also loved, and was impressed by how different this novel was, and yet how much I enjoyed it. Clearly, Ms. See is an extremely talented writer capable of tackling very different types of novels. I can't wait to read another of her books!
