...and I mean 5 STARS

Out of the nine books in this TimeLife series I've read so far this one is far and away my favorite. It is almost shocking to learn just how sophisticated the early Chinese were. Starting with the Song dynasty around 960 CE (Common Era) and ending with the death of the Mongol invander and emperor Khubilai Khan around the 14th century CE, this book gives readers a real treat filled with both intellictual and historical adventure. This book had no problem keeping my interest... I actually hated to see this one end!!!
