Title: Good Book, Poor Translation
Review: The original book written in Chinese is a great strategy book, however, the English translation in this version is so poor that it is obvious that the translator did not fully comprehend nor being able to convey the essense of these strategies. Keep in mind that Chinese language must be taken in its entire context, not seperated into individual characters and then translated word for word. What the translator has done in this case is equivalent to, for example, when English speakers say "Today, it rained cats and dogs", the translator automatically translated into "Today, it rained cats (as in the sense of house pet) and dogs (as in the sense of house pet)" instead of translating into "Today, it rained heavily". Another version of translation published by Publisher Cloud Hands (see Amazon [amazon.com/gp/product/0974201324]) seem to do a much better job than this version. So don't waste your money on this version.
