Query: Not worth the paper its printed on...

I made the mistake of reading this book and I was so irritated with it I had to throw it away. I would be embarrassed to have this on my bookshelf. The characters were one-dimensional, the plot was overly simplistic, and the relationship between Lydia and Lu Shan just plain wierd. Don't waste your time.
