Resumen del Editor
In the fictional Chinese city of Yong’an, an amateur cryptozoologist is commissioned to uncover the stories of its fabled beasts. These creatures live alongside humans in near-inconspicuousness - save their greenish skin, serrated earlobes, and strange birthmarks. Aided by her elusive former professor and his enigmatic assistant, our narrator sets off to document each beast and is slowly drawn deeper into a mystery that threatens her very sense of self. Part detective story, part metaphysical enquiry, Strange Beasts of China engages existential questions of identity, humanity, love, and morality with whimsy and stylistic verve.

A year into her dream job at a cutthroat Silicon Valley start-up, Cassie finds herself trapped in a corporate nightmare. Between the long hours, toxic bosses, and unethical projects, she also struggles to reconcile the glittering promise of a city where obscene wealth lives alongside abject poverty and suffering. Ivy League grads complain about the snack selection from a conference room with a view of unhoused people bathing in the bay. Start-up burnouts leap into the paths of commuter trains, and men literally set themselves on fire in the streets.

Escaping New York for the anonymity of Bangkok, Sarah Mullins arrives in Thailand with a suitcase of money and a deception she holds close to her chest. Her plan is to lie low and map out her next move in a high-end apartment complex called the Kingdom, whose glass-fronted façade boasts views of the bustling city and glimpses into the vast honeycomb of lives within. It is not long before she meets the alluring Mali, doing laps in the apartment pool, a half-Thai tenant determined to bring the quiet American out of her shell.

Cecilia Bassingwaite is the ideal Victorian lady. She's also a thief. Like the other members of the Wisteria Society crime sorority, she flies around England drinking tea, blackmailing friends, and acquiring treasure by interesting means. Sure, she has a dark and traumatic past and an overbearing aunt, but all things considered, it's a pleasant existence. Until the men show up.

Masterfully Woven - Imaginative and Meditative!
Interesting fantasy/fiction story laden with thought-provoking caricatures of human nature. The writing is beautiful and geometrical. The structuring of the story is dynamic and fun – carefully weaving how the reader assimilates this spontaneous and imaginative journey through its plot and characters,
I was overjoyed to find Emily Woo Zeller as the narrator. She did a fantastic job on this story, and is always a good narrator who is enjoyable to listen to.
All around, great read and listen for fans of this genre - and anyone who enjoys a good story that provides you with any level of depth you choose!

lost in translation
Bewildering, genius, and extremely entertaining. The translation is unfortunately awkward and lackluster. So many words are repeated over and over again, it’s poorly done.

Snooze!
Dear God, this book was so boring. Ridiculously boring.. Poor character development and virtually no plot. And the narration is really annoying. I can't believe I bought both the hardcover and audio book versions. That was a waste of money and time. Actually, that's not entirely true -- it was useful as a sleep aid at nights.
