alexandra_ivey 's review for:

Shanghai Immortal by A.Y. Chao
3.0
adventurous funny medium-paced
Plot or Character Driven: Character
Loveable characters: No

The first half of this book is a slog, the main character is crude and childish and unlovable but then it becomes an interesting romp through yang Shanghai. Strangely modern language was jarring, but ultimately I enjoyed the world and the friendships that developed. Felt very cinematic.
