serafyne 's review for:

Rickshaw Boy by Lao She
2.0
challenging emotional informative reflective sad slow-paced

There were parts of this novel that I found very intriguing but like the protagonist himself, i quickly went back to apathy. 

It was interesting to get an insight in to the lives of rickshaw pullers, an often overlooked group of people. The way historical events play out on the edges of the main characters awareness is interesting although he himself doesn't care.
