A review by katekoda
A Snake Lies Waiting by Jin Yong

5.0

This is an absolute revelation. They call him Chinese Tolkien, but this is more like Dickens, but with kung fu. The characters are diverse and fleshy, totally believable and with more than one dimension to all of them, the plot keeps developing with surprise twists, the romance is going strong, the villains are doing their villainy things, etc. This is an absolute joy of a book, and I can't recommend it enough.
The audio version is superb! I cannot wait for the next book to be translated!
