LOVELY

I have read lots of books about China when I was in high school but they were not enough to understand this big populated country. Well,this book has answered some of my questions. LOVELY!

Amazing!

Brings out a tremendous amount of clarity from the long recorded chaos of cultural events. Amazingly clear and concise!

Amazing!

I have known, respected and even revered China as an incredibly ancient and storied people for a long time and this book has only increased my awe, fascination and appreciation for the country and its resilient people.

Enjoying this book

I am about halfway into the book. So far I am enjoying it very much. Not that I will ever remember all the genealogy, or yangs, bangs and gangs. I am hoping it will get better in the modern century. I wish there were more maps to assist in getting a grasp of the vastness of the country.

Interesting!

It's full of interesting stories and fact especially about the various dynasties and martial arts. It doesn't really cover any time period in-depth, but it is not a bad place to start in order to learn which parts are those that you wish to learn more about.
