Dream of the Yellow Dragon – An Entertaining Read, 4 Stars 
In Dream of the Yellow Dragon, the reader will meet Greg (one of the book’s main characters) on a warm winter’s day in China. Greg lives between two cultures – the newness of the US and ancientness of the Orient. On this specific day, Greg meets a man who will forever change his life; a simple, unassuming man who does not seem to fit in with the hectic hustle and bustle of the busy Beijing streets. A man who, when queried about his job, replies simply that he ‘grows flowers.’ This seems to be rather coincidental since Greg sells flowers when he is in the States.
Moving on in the story, the reader will then meet Jeff (another of the book’s main characters). Jeff is braving ice and snow storms as he drives from the East Coast to Portland, Oregon. Jeff is on a strict time table to arrive – this means driving fifteen hours, or more, each day in order to reach his destination on time. Exhaustion definitely gains a whole new meaning with this trip.
Last, but not least, the reader will finally meet Rosa (Jeff’s girlfriend), and also an instrumental character in this intriguing adventure. While Rosa herself doesn’t dream about dragons, everyone around her does. One has to wonder what the connection is. Where do these dreams come from? What do they mean?
Having immediately introduced the reader to all of the book’s main players, author Andy Sedlak then takes the reader on an interesting journey back and forth through time. Chinese mythology plays a huge part in Dream of the Yellow Dragon, and coupled with today’s technology, it makes for a fun and entertaining read.
In summary, I found Dream of the Yellow Dragon to be well-written and for the most part it was very believable. Sedlak did a great job of paying attention to the story’s details and one can definitely empathize with the various characters in this book. Dream of the Yellow Dragon is an easy fictional read and can be enjoyed by readers of most ages. I’m personally looking forward to reading more from Sedlak in the future, and I hope the mystery of the Orient will always be included in his writing.
