   Is Monkey King a good book?

   • Monkey King, or more commonly known as Journey to the West, does not seem like an easy text to translate into modern English. This is due not only to its imposing status as a cornerstone of classical Chinese literature, but also because Mandarin is notoriously difficult to translate word for word without losing meaning and tone along the way.

   Nice review. I've got a copy of Monkey King, but decided to go with the full unabridged version translated by Anthony C. Yu in four volumes. Kind of spendy, but good reviews. There's also an Audible podcast with two guys, one Chinese-American, discussing the book, chapter by chapter.
