“You’ve never read a book like this. And if you have, please tell me what bookstore you go to, because I want to buy any other books that weave love, China, family, and internal organs into an amazing and touching tale. For everyone else, it’s probably easier to just buy Daniel Asa Rose’s book.” A J Jacobs
“In this hilarious, moving book, Daniel Asa Rose and his cousin Larry set out like Sancho Panza and Don Quixote in search of a mail order bride and human organs, running into classic Quixotic misadventure along the way. In short, that very rare thing--a wonderful story told by a wonderful writer.” Rich Cohen
