Although this book was short, it still dragged at times, but the writing was good and the ending too.

I expected more than this.
The book fell flat and the story dragged at most of the book so it felt boring and distracted from the focus of the book as it is very slow but the bit of mystery in it was still enjoyable, even knowing how it ends from the beginning you still want to see it unfold and understand how it happened.

Sun's rules reflect how skillful a general he was and his book, although short, makes for a complete textbook about the basis of dealing with war (and in a way dealing with life) and it needs no further explanation because, as simple is it is it remains fully understandable and easily interpreted. Shout out to the translator.
