Fun but different book. Interesting.
Thanks to author, publisher and Netgalley for the chance to read this book. While I got the book for free it had no bearing on the rating I gave it.

Wow, what a read! I was particularly interested in this book as I’ve lived in China and recognised several of the places mentioned. I liked the fact that I could reflect on my own life in China, as well as my interactions with couriers. I felt emotional and angry for him many times throughout the book. The author is very self-aware and honest throughout, openly discussing his physical and mental exhaustion, which led to poor mental health and social anxiety. This book doesn’t just explore his experience as a courier but also covers many other jobs that sound equally challenging. It is extremely detailed and flows well. The pace is good, although I found reading about some of his other jobs less interesting.
I am in awe of his resilience and glad he finds comfort in reading and writing. I also appreciate his overall message about life, money, and striving. I'm glad the book ends on a hopeful note. I received a free advanved copy of this book and this is my honest review.
