| Teakettle Mountain is a wonderful and humorous portrayal of life in South Korea...Ian James' grip and use of language is a joy to read. I didn't curl up with the book, Teakettle Mountain curled up with me, and didn't let me out of its embrace until I had read the last word...Don't get me wrong, it isn't all nicey-nicey and touchy-feely - it's uncomfortable reading at times. Ian James has chosen honesty above political correctness when writing about his experiences and observations and, as a result, I felt like I really was reading about people, rather than characters or. caricatures. |
