Reader comments
The language of this book is humorous and the author interprets historical figures and events from a unique perspective, which gave me a new understanding of ancient history. Some of the ideas in the book reminded me of real life, such as the relationship between monarch and minister, which made me understand the importance of loyalty and respect. History is always similar and we can learn a lot of wisdom from it.
