I was not a fan of this book. I’m sure on some levels it is very important and has some greatness to it, but I never found it. I found the book to be boring and not once did it hold my attention. While it may be a classic, I placed my copy on the bottom shelf.

This book will provide you the knowledge to declare war on Amazon – against a corporation who has chosen to silently and stupidly to censore the offerings online. They will not sell books that they deem as perceived ‘gay’ works. Welcome to Am-carthy-son.

Though the translation has many notes and as far as I can see, is accurate, there is at least one thing that bothers me. In one passage on lifting an autumn “hair,” this translation has “hare.” Hair seems to be the correct word because all the other translations have hair. If this mistake was overlooked, you just have to wonder what else? What’s strange however is that an earlier translation The Seven Military Classics from the same author has that one passage with the word “hair.” Go figure.

My son thought it was a bigger book, so it was not what he expected.
