Fun and readable prose. Less impressed with the story and characters. Not a particularly original east vs west story, and I get a pretty strong orientalist vibe from it. That being said I also think its critique of corporate life and attitudes towards women are also subjects worthy of addressing. Just doesn't feel like there's particular depth to it beyond consumable stereotypes. But good prose!
