Wang si Macan yang saya baca terbitan Gramedia tahun 1990-an, yang ada jilid 1 dan 2. Waktu itu beli di Pesta Buku Gramedia di BBJ, masing-masing Rp 5.000 saja.
Ceritanya seru juga. Benar-benar susah teryata jadi jenderal perang di kekaisaran yang berantakan. Apalagi jenderal juga manusia, punya ayah-ibu, kakak-adik dan anak-istri. Mungkin buku ini yang mengilhami film "Warlords"-nya Jet Li, Andy Lau dan Takeshi Kaneshiro itu yah?

i liked this book too but perhaps not as well as the first. I think I learned something from this one too....that amazingly enough parents will make the same mistakes with their children as their parents made with them....if we're not careful : ) As with the last book though it was very well written, not a bad word in the book, and I learned much about China as a country, it's politics and it's people.

I appreciated Pearl Buck's "Good Earth" way before it was on Oprah's booklist. Reading her fiction is like reading a quick-paced history text of China. If you enjoyed Good Earth, you will really appreciate the rest of the books in the Good Earth Trilogy.

Enjoyed The Good Earth, but struggled through this one. Whiny, spoiled, ungrateful sons do not make a good story...

Very good book. Carries on close to where the first one left off, with the sons as the main characters.
