Title: Lao's review
Review: Cleaves translation of this work is very turn of the century, reminiscent of many of the early translators who attempted to totally reformat both the words and meter in order to presumably make them more readable to English speaking audiences. Unfortunately this ends up as a bastardized version of the original, and leaves the reader feeling as though they had just read a fairy tale, rather than a history.If you are seriously intersted in this book, buy the Paul Kahn translation instead. He retains the prose style of writing, as well as keeping closer to the original spelling and grammar.
