Chris Hooker (419 KP) rated King Kwong: Larry Kwong, the China Clipper Who Broke the NHL Colour Barrier in Books

Jan 12, 2018

This book was a really quick read. As a lifelong hockey fan I was fascinated by the story. As a New York Ranger's fan I was appalled I hadn't heard of this before.

[King Kwong: Larry Kwong, the China Clipper Who Broke the NHL Colour Barrier] by [Paula Johanson] is a short well written account of the struggle to make it into the NHL if you weren't of European decent. Larry Kwong was a very skilled player but only got to play one shift in the NHL. This did not dampen his love for hockey as he traveled the world spreading this awesome sport wherever he went. I wish I had this in a paper copy so I could give it to my students to read.

Cheap and Easy

Wish is an app where you buy goods directly from China, thus allowing for super cheap pricing and sometimes questionable quality. I have bought countless items from them in nearly every category and have rarely been burned. One the couple of occasions I have had an issue (a hole in a pair of pants, an item that never showed up) the customer service was apologetic and quickly refunded me for the items. My favorite things to get from wish are sunglasses and jewelry items, but you can get pretty much ANYTHING - just be prepared to wait for it, as most things will take around a month to arrive.

I watch and read a lot of dystopian future. Many are about the population crisis. This has used an idea that has already been seen to be used in China and expanded on the idea and the possibilities of its enforcement worldwide. Obviously the likelihood of gm crops causing multiple births is a little farfetched but the way that the scenarios are dealt with really drew me in. And who doesn't like a good government conspiracy?
It would have been nicer to get the know each of the girls a little bit longer so you could link a face/personality to a name, but I suppose that was also the point if it.
