A review by colinhdempsey
A Hero Born by Jin Yong
4.0
The only complaint I have is that some character moments are added hastily to cheaply garner reader sympathy instead of developing them throughout the novel. This only happens once, doesn't affect much really, but it bugged me enough to mention it.
Besides that this shit rips so hard. I want to weep over how cool the fight scenes are. Each one has a cute little gimmick that reflects the characters involved. Characters are introduced, given a sick martial arts style, then forgotten, only to come back and still be dope at kung-fu. It's all so defined by the character's strong personalities that despite the constant referencing of far-off masters and hidden martial arts styles the world is easy to keep follow. I want to wash my brain, scrubbing it of any memory of this book, and read it all over again.
