Fascinating! This book is easy to read if you've read an introduction to linguistics book first. If your interested in writing systems, without linguistics, it can still be rewarding. Either skip the jargon or look them up! Daniels only uses jargon when necessary. For the rest, sit back and look at the numerous charts for their aesthetic beauty and differences.

Chinese, Japanese, Korean Writing, Oh my!
Chinese writing grew up in isolation, no involvement from anyone else :)
Japanese uses 3 writing systems simultaneously?! in the same damn sentence? Maybe more because of modern texting and emoticons.... *my eyes*
Korean *sigh* Perfect union of science and philosophy in a writing system. Consonants are scientific anatomical mouth shape, Vowels are from the cosmos.
