Any good books about Hong Kong?

[MrRotavator]

Try golden boy by martin booth, its an auto biographical work that i am currently reading and its quite interesting till now. Here's the review of the book by ny times. 'Golden Boy: Memories of a Hong Kong Childhood,' by Martin Booth - The New York Times Book Review - New York Times

Hiroshima Joe, by the same author, is also a good read - set in HKG in the late 1940s. Lots of flashbacks to WWII.

I loved the Martin Booth book (AKA "Gweilo"), that was a good read. Will look at Hiroshima Joe.

there is the Yellow Thread series by William Marshall

Never read them and never seen the TV series - Although showing on Now TV Channel 517 at 7:00PM on Fridays

The Chris Pattan books are much more readable than you would think.

Rosemary Sayer - Gordon Wu: The Man Who Turned the Lights On

For some reason there is a signed copy on my bookshelf that's never been read!
