Customer Reviews

Excellent book, lousy translation

I almost threw the book in the trash when I read the first page - I was so disappointed with the translation. How could anyone use a dictionary to translate martial arts terminology. Fortunately, I stuck around to read to page three, and could not put the book down afterwards. Such a unique plot, simple yet powerful characters with a conciseness in writing style rarely seen in Western works. Must read.

Detailed and full of suspense.

This is one from the set of 12 novels written by Jin Yong. Too bad not all of them are translated. I know there's another one, The Book and the Sword, translated by Graham Earnshaw...

Terribly incredible!

A well written, well plotted martial art story. Although it is not as good as the other novels he wrote, it is a high scored novel. In this novel, not much romance was involved. But, the story line is quiet interesting. I recommend this novel to all readers.

The worst and best of human nature.

Once you start reading several pages of the book, you cannot stop reading it until it is finished. You will be lost in ancient China. A bit of a warning here. This book is very addictive. You might forget about your work, and your daily routine.
