"Three Kingdoms Volume 3"

Last night I finished reading Three Kingdoms Vol.3. I enjoyed the beginning they had a Taoist magician show up, and a really neat fortune teller. It was interesting to read the descriptions about what they could do. In fact I think I have come across the description of those two in some of the academic books I've been reading. After that it got a bit repetitious and then all of a sudden everyone started dying! Which made it interesting and fun again. Half way through the book the three main hero characters died, as did the villain, and sons and advisers took over. I liked the fact that Zhang Fei was murdered in his sleep and Guan Yu go to die heroicaly in battle. I was a bit surprised at Guan Yu having diety status to start with. But I liked that he kept coming back as a ghost and saved his son on more than one occasion. Zhuge Liang went to fight the Nan Man. Which I enjoyed immensely as that was by far the hardest level in the video game I have so I really wanted to see what his master strategy against the elephants was!

I'm still enjoying it, though of the "four classic novels" that I've read I think this is the 3rd best. But it's good to read. Only 500 or so more pages to go!
