Journey to the West is one of the four great classics of Chinese literature, but I don’t think this translation does it justice. The English language used is very strange at times and made it difficult to take the novel seriously. I still enjoyed it, but I wish I could’ve read a better translation (or in the original Chinese).
this edition must skip out on many details that flavor Journey to the West with charm cause I would've never known Sandy was loyal if I didn't complain about it to my friends who told me he was in fact loyal
