This story is incredible. It reminds me of Don Quixote, which is one of the greatest books ever written, which makes this also one of the greatest books ever written. The Journey to the West flows with that same sort of insane, anything-can-happen, never-ending story energy, which I adore, and which is certainly present in Don Quixote's story. And to think this is only the first of four volumes! It ends on such a cliffhanger too! I need to get the next book!
