Book Reviews of Like a Long River
Book Review: Can't say i got too much out of this book
Summary: 2 Stars
I guess i found it hard to understand where the writer was coming from let alone where he was going with the beginning of the book. Seemed like some personal stories that he tried to link metaphorically to Taiji but just didn't quite get there for me.
I realise the book initially started as a web journal and i haven't read his two other books. I admit i probably would not be called a 'serious' Taiji student but I have studied Taijiquan and still practice it along with my other martial art studies.
The last third of the book seemed to be written well. I do agree that the book is written in a conversation form with the 'Long river students'. It would be the students or anyone who had a part in Cheng Man-Ching's life that would get the most out of this book.
How ever it just seemed to me that the mass of this book was spent on the difficult art of push-hands and seemed to be going over the same things.
I really don't mean to sound rude by saying this but i just couldn't help but feel a sense of closed mindedness by the writer as i read some of the stories in this book.
