?Bennett's education in the world of global commerce sparkles with humor and sharp observations.? --"Publishers Weekly"
?It's a humorous journey in some ways, and Bennett is a very good and often funny writer. But it also becomes a very interesting a comment on how much the West has come to depend on the East?Every aspect of the book is riveting?Frightening, funny and fiercely interesting.? --"January Magazine"
?Much more than an intrepid investigator reporting how his underpants found their way to his body, Bennett is a delightful guide on an off-the-beaten-track-tour of the New China? The good time he has on his adventures from one end of China to the other is infectious.? --"ShelfAwareness"
?If you read only one China book this year, make it Joe Bennett's "Where Underpants Come From." Bennett does witty travelogue better than Bill Bryson, and dissects what makes countries and their economies tick better than PJs
