Interesting.... but
The hype and mystique were much more interesting than the actual book.
There were some interesting points, but it didn't move me.

Strike with Chaos
This excellent little book has plenty of white space on each page for making notes. The translation is very good. This is a book that can be easily taken with you wherever you go.

Great history of early china
Book repetitive and drawn out in places. Hard to bounce back and forth between notes section and main body of book. Full of information for war and life.
