Hey guys! Adventure Van here with a book report on Bridge of Birds, a book written by Barry Hughart in 1984. Despite the many pitfalls of dubious content it could have fallen into as an European author writing using Chinese mythology as the base, the book is respectful and yet still takes it's own imaginative takes and uses for it's source. The characterization used is amazing, and the way the keys to the plot are slowly handed over to both the main characters and the reader for solving the main mystery is well written. The descriptions and interconnections of the chapters makes it feel more like reading a movie then a book, and I'm not saying that in a bad way. I would highly recommend checking it out when the opportunity is given.
Adventure Van, following the dragon.
