Excellent story

I became interested in this book after watching Forbidden Kingdom. The story of the Monkey King is thoughtful and entertaining. The Kindle edition was a no brainer at 99 cents. The translation is fantastic and it reads like it was written with English being its original language. Highly recommend to anyone interested in the Monkey King, and/or Asian history.

Great for teaching purposes for 1st through 3rd graders

Long ago I saw on TV a Chinese series on this story, without subtitles, so I was looking for an English version to read. This gave me the basic story line, but is definately for beginning readers. Has a shortened story line with a play version included and a vocabulary section for the meanings of the words. Great for teaching purposes for 1st through 3rd graders.

Awkward translation - I make changes while reading it to my daughter

I'm a Chinese speaker, but my daughter isn't. She has heard about the monkey king from us and was interested in hearing the story, so we ordered this book. The translation is slightly awkward, especially the inconsistent translation of names (some are translated by meaning, such as "Piggy" and some are phonetic translations of the Chinese name, such as "Xuan Zeng"). I find myself frequently making changes to the translation or adding explanations to make it more understandable or interesting to my daughter. That being said, I cannot even imagine how difficult it would be to translate this particular story into English and abridge it for young readers, so I'm not sure if there are much better versions out there or not.
