mugglemom 's review for:
Monkey King: Journey to the West
by Julia Lovell, Wu Ch'eng-En
There was far more monkey piss than I would have imagined!!
Ok, first I have to admit I appreciated the "modern" verbiage for all the crazy antic of the participants and I dearly would have loved to know how the original Chinese verbiage sounded/was written because some of the stories were genius.
For 16th century tale, this has earned its golden spear to be a classic! Again, one of those stories/books always mentioned, copied, and imitated but rarely actually read, well, I read it. And I own it so I can read it again.
