Summary: feel cheated
Review: This is my first time shopping in Amazon.com and I was really shocked when i see the size of the book. I never thought that's a micro book like this . IF the decription say pocket size or some other words , I would rethink before i buy. The only i can say when I open the package was " Is that what we call BOOK ? ". Anyway , I leave this time as my carelessness but next time won't be easy.

Summary: are you kidding me
Review: VERY DECEPTIVE. Makes it seem like its a hardcover book, yet it fits in the palm of my hand. its 3inches by 3inches. That is just ridiculous. On top of the deception, the "book" was a TOTAL RIP OFF.

Summary: But does it live up to the hype?
Review: Well, I decided to check out Sun Tzu's art of war, since it's one of those books that you always find people discussing. Although I did not read this translation, but one that I found in a local bookshop, I was quite disappointed. The book gives you some understanding of the warfare of Sun Tzu's era, but I found the parts of it that can be applied to modern life are scant. What's more, what *can* be applied to contemporary life is all very obvious anyway. It can really be summed up in the following sentence: don't be stupid. So, for people looking to gain some valuable insight, it will probably be a disappointment. For those looking to discover something about the warfare of Sun Tzu's time, this will probably be a pretty good book to read.
Like another reviewer mentioned: "Art of War's popularity outstrips its actual greatness."

Summary: Simply shoddy
Review: ``Don't judge a book by its cover.'' They could have at least gotten the Chinese characters the right way round -- the text on the cover is flipped left-to-right. I would not express surprise if this were representative of the contents (translation.)I can't say I'm particularly impressed with this edition of an otherwise great classic. (Allegedly. I've yet to read it. :-/)
