Red Azalea by Anchee Min

3.0

Red Azalea by Anchee Min is about what it was like to grow up in communist China with Mao as the leader. It gives a lot of insight into how indoctrinated everyone was. It is about Anchee, what she is forced to do, and what her life is like on a labor camp. This book really shows what it was like to be in a labor camp because the author went into a labor camp and this book is her writing about her experiences. One thing I did not like about this book is that it is a bit too descriptive. I would recommend this book to anyone that is curious about what it was like to live in a communist China. But this book is for high school and up, it contains sexual content.
