Book Reviews of Monkey: Folk Novel of China
Book Review: A Mystical Story about a Stone Monkey
Summary: 5 Stars
This book is excellent. It's one of my favorites that I keep coming back to reread every couple of years. I love the part where monkey bets buddha that he can fly to the edge of existance and flies to what appears to be the 4 pillars that hold up the universe. He then pee's on one of them and returns to mock buddha. Buddha smiles, tells monkey that he never even left buddha's palm and holds out his hand for monkey to smell.
anyways, This is a great book and I recomend everyone read it!
