Reviews for Chinese Biographies

[Mary Stepp · Rating: 5 out of 5 stars]

I do not feel you need to keep searching. This book mentions all of it. I think the first number of chapters were my favorite ones, because the entire idea that the subtitle talks about, is explained. All the essentials are here. Later on in the book, more depth gets included, and I think this is what makes it so great. I recognized a lot of the things the author was talking about. Some things discussed my head, but that's typical for any book that has actually been composed by a genius.
