[EX Q]: Good idea didn't translate into a book . I like the idea that Michael Lewis wrote this book/article to defend a man whose coaching techniques are clearly out of style in todays world of my child this and my child that. Having said that I did not like this book:    1) the writing was chopping and hard to follow at times. i had to re-read many sentences to understand lewis' point.     2) the story lacked the depth of lewis' other wonderful books - where's the who/why/what that lewis used to moneyball (and others) educational - i wanted the story behind the story.     3) who were all the pictures of? i found them distracting...     i'll continue to read lewis' books bu thope the next one is bette
[EX A]: NEG

[EX Q]: What a waste! . This author has so much talent and paints the most exquisite pictures with words but the plot of this book was so fragmented, disorganized and unfocused that it distracted from his lovely writing style. I wasn't sure if the book was about Jack the Ripper, Peter Pan, Alice in Wonderland, A Christmas Carol, losing a child, hauntings, possession, redemption or all of the above because it kept going off in different directions.  The relationships between the characters were confusing and the characters were never very well developed.  Worst of all, it just fell off at the end with no resolution.  Sometimes this works but it didn't work with this book.  Very disappointing
[EX A]: NEG

[EX Q]: Appalling translation . The translation of this work is at best clumsy and frequently appalling.  As a previous reviewer notes much appears to have been carried out using, poorly, a dictionary.  Thus we have "knife" used to refer to what in English is commonly called a sabre.  The reason being (I assume) that the character used to describe the weapon commonly means knife.  Frequently, she has  chosen arcane language.  Thus we get "myrmidon" to describe a senior captain/bodyguard; the translater not appreciating that the term when used in English literature is either jocular or derogatory.  Some phrases and clauses are meaningless.  It all reflects badly on the editorial team at the Chinese University Press in Hong Kong and, unfortunately, tells one much about the standard of English here.   Where does this leave the reader?  Frankly, I cannot understand how anyone could give this book a high rating other than out of a desperate desire to read something of this genre.  The Deer and the Cauldron is far superior.  This book can only be recommended to somebody who is prepared to persevere with the translation out of an interest in martial arts literature
