Peeking Between the Pages Reviews What the Zhang Boys Know

Another blogger is heard from on the Virtual Book Tour for What the Zhang Boys Know. This time, it’s Peeking Between the Pages who has nice things to say about the book.

All of the characters in this novel are flawed, just as all human beings are.  They aren’t perfect; they are just trying to get through their lives the best they can.  I love how all the stories weaved together in some way as for me that is the one thing that really does make a book of short stories work.  I also liked how the Zhang boys, although young and not always understanding the real issues, could still give you a pretty good update on what was going on with everyone in the building.  It just goes to show how much the young ones really do absorb.  This was a good read for me.  I enjoyed the book and the author’s writing style and I look forward to reading more from him.
