SRP 2010 REVIEWS (3): #1) Loved this book and learning more about the old Chinese culture. #2) This is an ancient Chinese history type of book. This was very interesting because I can relate to it. However, there are so much stuff that I haven't learned. Outstanding. #3) This book was absolutely, soul-suckingly DEPRESSING. I had to read it as a summer reading assignment for NCHS's Enriched Patterns of Communication class... it was MISERABLE. Twelve major characters die. Want something uplifting? Try another book. I'm giving it a 2/5 just because at least it wasn't boring. It was just depressing.
