Chronicle of a Blood Merchant

Meh. Lots I didn't like about this one, even taking into consideration that this is a period piece and considered a classic in China. Some parts made me smile a little, but overall disappointed and a little annoyed at what I read. Pass this one up if you don't want to read a repetitive plot about a guy who gets into a sitcom-esque loveless relationship and has to sell his blood to solve, well, just about every problem, or if you don't want to read about the main character telling his sons to rape the daughters of the man his wife is sleeping with, or if you don't want to read about the constant digs against the main character's girlfriend's weight problem. I wish I did.
