A review by books4chess
The Journey to the West, Volume 1 by Wu Ch'eng-En

5.0

Absolutely beautiful, so well written, I couldn't find a quote if I tried because there is SO MUCH. 4 sections spilling into 100 chapters... phew, give me a moment.

I believe only an extremely talented author could produce such a work, writing story after story and never repeating a theme, successfully incorporating past characters into the future adventures and not leaving a single plot hole or flaw.

A great insight into Chinese culture and Confucius values in a light-hearted, enjoyable manner.

Monkey King - I love you and can't wait for my own character development like you.
