Babel, or The Necessity of Violence

It wasn't my favorite book, but i think it was well written and well researched and thats why I gave it four stars.

I didn't have any issue with anti-colonialism as some (Side eye ) readers did.

I could tell a lot of work and research went into this book. Having studied mandarin chinese, I felt able to relate to the chinese words and the history.

I don't think this book needed to be as long as it was. If we were going to get insight into Victoire, Ramy and Letty, I wish we would have gotten more. We barely scratched the surface with them. I wonder what this book could've been if it was written in Ramy's perspective, and I think it may have been better.
