Good nostalgia trip and helps me tie together all the chapters of this I used to read for Chinese school. I enjoyed how colorful and humorous this translation was, it really made me fond of the epic and these characters I have know since childhood. I wish the translation could cover even more adventures like the baby-shaped fruit story :) So it inevitably felt a little fast paced but it got at the spirit of the original.
