Reader comments
The writing style of this book is very unique and the writing is concise and clear. Wang Chong expressed his criticism of some false claims through the analysis of legends. He uses common sense and logic to analyze these legends, making them very convincing to read. In the book, I especially hate those who blindly believe in legends without thinking. They are easily swayed by some unfounded claims. However, I appreciate Wang Chong's rationality and scientific spirit. His views have given me new thinking about many things. Overall, this is a very enlightening book.
