Strange Stones: Dispatches from East and West by Peter Hessler
3.0
3 and 1/2 stars
Hessler's writing is great, and I found many of the essays very interesting and well done, but they were a bit hit and miss. Also, even though the only other book I've read from Hessler was River Town, there were some repetitive elements from it. Also, the essays didn't have any cohesive theme and were sometimes jarringly different. I say all of this, but really it was very enjoyable and I am looking forward to reading more from the author.
