Reviews

[Richard Sims · Rating 3 out of 5]

A decent enough read, compressed to a manageable size, as a learner I thought the characters they chose to add Pinyin too was......... strange.

Also, I kinda felt the plot and dynamics were a bit predictable, and there wasn't much character development. Its a Chinese classic, but I think its best enjoyed as it was probably originally told (much like the Homeric epics) as a collection of short stories rather than one narrative.
