Reader comments
The content of this book is very rich. The author vividly portrays the historical figure Zhu Wen, which made me see an ambitious and capable hero in troubled times. The book also describes the situation at the end of the Tang Dynasty very well. The warlords were fighting and the people were in dire straits, which gave me a deeper understanding of that era. Moreover, the author's language is very humorous, and it is easy to read, just like listening to a friend telling a story. All in all, this is a very good historical novel worth reading.
