The Art of War

Too messy and too many notes. Theres too many notes and uses too many notes without explaining them very well.

Loved it. Great book, I recommend reading the entire book !

Not a good version.. This version is loaded with notes in between the original work. It makes it very difficult to read the original work straight through. Not a good version.

Meh. The book itself is excellent as always, but for the most part, the annotations get in the way of reading.

Knocked it off the list. I have been meaning to read this book. I was not expecting the explanations in it. But at times they were helpful.

Great book. How can you go wrong with this book. It is mesmerizing!

Pop kids. Love

Not a fan. Hate the way it’s written

Art of War. Great read !

Question?. For what ages is this for?

Psychology. War has never been a big topic in my conversations; however, after I read this book, I realize life is a war.

A must read. Although some of the notes on original text might seem boring and repetitive, the book perfectly captures and easily interprets Sun Tzu's writings to every reader. A must read for anyone eager to understand "strategy of life" and its consequences.

The art of commentary. Would've been better without the commentary but it was still very good

Pretty Good. This was a very good translation in addition to being an interesting and thoughtful read, the commentary was at many times unnecessary though

the art of war + frequent, obnoxious commentary. This has too many notes and side comments--so much so that over half of the text is side notes!! I downloaded this to read the actual book, not some annoying translator or historian's interpretation and clarifications. Misleading title because it doesn't actually state that you'll have to swim through an extra 200 pages of "related notes" or whatever. Deleting and finding a better more true-to-text copy so I can use my own brain instead of having someone else pop in to interrupt the text lol

Knowledgable but.... This is a roughly translated version, although the information is printed the translator/author produces their insights and verbiage which should've been reserved for the epilogue.

Amazing book.. Written for any age of warfare.

Great. Great

The Art of War. This book was excellent. To think that the principles Sun Tsu put forth 500 years B.C. Are still totally applicable is boggling. The explanations of the translations got a little heavier than needed but I believe it was to demonstrate the thoroughness of the research into this timeless classic.

The Art of War. Read this with the reflection of history. You will understand why somany failed while others susceeded.
