5.0 out of 5 stars We're ready for our move to China!, July 18, 2007

By	Mimi Rockefeller (Houston, TX) - See all my reviews

After reading almost every book available on the topic of China and living in China, this was by far one of the very best. I really appreciated how the Strother's candor and personal experiences added to the book. The book is so interesting, I was actually able to read this book cover to cover in about a weekend. All the tips and pointers allowed my husband and I to feel more prepared for our visit to China prior to our actual move. While visiting China, we met with expatriates currently living there and their comments echoed what I read in this book, making me feel much more comfortable about being prepared for the move. This book is a must have for anyone considering a move to China!
