"A Bull in China" - is it full of bull?

Famed investor Jim Rogers has just written a new book, "A Bull in China: Investing Profitably in the World's Greatest Market ". By the title, obviously, this book has hugely positive things to say about the investing potential in China.

For those who live far away from China, but are interested in investing in it, this book is a fantastic way to get the lay of the land. Jim Rogers discusses major industries in China, such as energy, tourism, the Internet, manufacturing, and much more. He gives a good overview of the growth and current state of each industry and then follows up with a list of major companies (along with a short business summary) involved in those industries. Jim does not make specific stock picks or recommendations, but does give you a good picture of how things are. It's up to you to do your homework and make your own picks.

The writing style of the book is conversational, and makes for very easy reading. He does a decent job of presenting both positive and negative aspects of investing in China. I definitely recommend this book to anyone interested in learning more about the Chinese markets.
