"""Wry and insightful ... eye-opening, as when Steele examines the propaganda and clichés voiced by both Chinese and Americans he encountered. This book is often funny, but also addresses serious existential issues with intensity."" Elizabeth - Pittsburgh ""A vivid journey through the adventures of mediocrity. A fascinating read inspired by ""Horse, horse. Tiger, tiger."" leads the reader through rich cultural experiences and insights."" Judith - Austin ""I thoroughly enjoyed Mama Huhu. Was like hanging with Chris Steele. Lots of plant love, humor that goes deeper than originally thought, and great appreciation of how monkeylike humans are."" Ken - Ann Arbor ""I really enjoyed this book - a good read, full of personal insights and especially, vignettes of daily life in China that I haven't seen elsewhere."" Charles - East Lansing ""This book is so fun: brilliant, honest, insightful, hilarious, current and open-ended. I was in stitches on my couch and couldn't put it down. Steele's wit is unmatched. Be prepared to have a great time, and have some 'aha' moments too. A must read."" Arch - Berlin"
