I enjoyed this book, it made real a world which I'd never contemplated the reality of before. Chang's perspective humanizes a group of people usually represented simplistically by Western media. Rather than desperate, poverty-stricken vagabonds one might first assume teenagers working in factories might be, she tells a story of enterprising youths who are trying to make their place in the world, in what is a very Western-style individualistic enterprise.
