Reader comments
The stories in this book are really interesting, just like "Words of Warning", they all tell stories to warn the world. King Zhou You made fun of the princes in order to win Bao Si's smile, but in the end he lost his country. How ridiculous! There are also Chen Linggong, Emperor Yang, and Emperor Ming of Tang, who also perished because of their greed for beauty. These stories tell us that we should not be deceived by beauty and must learn to control our desires. I think this book is very educational and worth reading.
