Thunder from the East: Portrait of a Rising Asia by Nicholas D. Kristof, Sheryl Wudunn

Did not finish book. Stopped at 8%.

I usually give a book 50 pages before I DNF it, but I just couldn't. For what it's worth, I don't think this is badly written. I just found it utterly boring. I'm not that interested in economics. I was so bored that I tried to talk to strangers on the bus instead of reading. 

So if you care about things like GDP, give it a whirl, but it really isn't for me.

(I would guess that since I'm the only 1-star rating here some 16 years after publication that it is a pretty good book if you actually care about the topic. I really thought I would care more. I just don't though.)
