From award-winning Hong Kong writer Chan Ho-Kei, The Borrowed tells the story of Kwan Chun-dok, a Hong Kong detective whose career spans fifty years of the territory's history. A deductive powerhouse, Kwan becomes a legend in the force, nicknamed "the Eye of Heaven" by his awe-struck colleagues. Divided into six sections told in reverse chronological order--each of which covers an important case in Kwan's career and takes place at a pivotal moment in Hong Kong history from the 1960s to the present day--The Borrowed follows Kwan from his experiences during the Leftist Riot in 1967, when a bombing plot threatens many lives; the conflict between the HK Police and ICAC (Independent Commission Against Corruption) in 1977; the Tiananmen Square Massacre in 1989; to the Handover in 1997; and the present day of 2013, when Kwan is called on to solve his final case, the murder of a local billionaire, while Hong Kong increasingly resembles a police state. Along the way we meet Communist rioters, ultraviolent gangsters, stallholders at the city's many covered markets, pop singers enmeshed in the high-stakes machinery of star-making, and a people always caught in the shifting balance of political power, whether in London or Beijing--all coalescing into a dynamic portrait of this fascinating city. Tracing a broad historical arc, The Borrowed reveals just how closely everything is connected, how history always repeats itself, and how we have come full circle to repeat the political upheaval and societal unrest of the past. It is a gripping, brilliantly constructed novel from a talented new voice.Binding Type: Paperback

They're okay-ish. Not suitable for a lot of liquid.
Size: Regular, Style: 100 Count
I use these for my opossums. They work okay-ish, but I continue to use them for the quantity and price. They're not very large animals. Make sure you are changing them out after a single pee. These really can not handle a lot of liquid. My girls both refused litter training, and so puppy pads are my only option. If your animal has large pees, I do not recommend these because it will not be able to absorb it all, and you're gonna have a mess! Thats the word I have been looking for. They can't absorb a large amount of liquid.

GOOD PRODUCT AND PRICE
Size: Regular, Style: 100 Count
The puppy pee pads are very well made at a good price. I purchased the same size pads with the same count from a competitor of Amazon, and they were more expensive, much thinner and when I tried to unfold them, some would stick together and the pads would rip.

Great for the price
Size: Regular, Style: 50 Count
These puppy pads are actually pretty good for the price I wasn’t expecting anything amazing but they do the job the absorbency is decent and it dries fast enough where my dog isn’t tracking mess everywhere the leak proof backing works most of the time and I haven’t had any major issues with it soaking through I also feel like the attractant helped a little with training because my dog started using them pretty quickly
Only thing is if your dog pees a lot or goes near the edge it can leak a little and they are kind of thin compared to more expensive brands plus they slide around since there’s nothing on the bottom to hold them in place
Overall I’d still buy them again they’re a good budget option especially for puppies or smaller dogs
