Yeah!

Crazy gods and legends from the ancient orient. I loved this book. No kidding. Get it with your credit.

Interesting

I didn't know the Chinese believed all these kinds of things. I was happy with the stories and background information.

Really good

There are actually a lot of lousy books on the market, but this is certainly not one of them. This deserved my time. Finally, a book which gives you what you want. One more point: The storyteller appeared to be so great that I would definitely listen to it again. Perhaps even more than just once. I can't recall every single thing that's being stated in these audiobooks, so it would be worth reminding myself of what was being pointed out. The articulation of the words in this particular audiobook was terrific, in addition to all the info contained in it. Based upon that, I am really happy that I purchased the book. It was well worth my time.

This is worth it

It looks as if we are dealing with a pro here. The narrator's presentation was to die for. I am giving this specific manual 5 stars simply because I genuinely liked it. I wish I was truly great at publishing customer reviews, but you'll simply need to be pleased with this mediocre suggestion, namely, that the book was fascinating all the way through, till the very end.

Cool

This is cool. I loved this book. The gods, the goddesses, the creatures, all good. Dragons are cool in Chinese.
