Reader comments
The author's depiction of historical figures is very delicate, making me seem to see Xiang Yu's bravery and Liu Bang's wit. This reminds me of "The Romance of the Three Kingdoms", which is also a historical story full of strategy and heroes. I think this book is not only suitable for people who are interested in history, but also for friends who like to listen to stories. Just like my husband, he doesn't know much about history, but he still finds it interesting to listen to me tell the stories in the book. I plan to recommend this book to my friends, so that everyone can feel the charm of history together.
