Reviews
Original is Great, Editing is Lacking
3By Nat the GrayThis short book has more typos than I've seen in years of reading. It seems that it was probably automatically digitized using OCR and some things got lost (like "in" becoming "m"). So Tao Te Ching gets 5-stars, this edition gets 3.Terrible Translation
1By amyserafinThis is one of the worst translations I’ve read. I found Christian overtones seeping through. Deleted the book. Ugh.Untitled
5By pi130“Knowledge of the Tao, how vast! I am like a sailor far beyond a place of anchorage, adrift on a boundless ocean. Common people are useful, I am awkward. I stand in contrast to them--but oh, the prize I seek is food from our Mother Tao!”Interesting.

5By Chris E.G.All I can say is this book gives you a lot to think about. It’s beauty is in it’s simplicity. Be like water and go with the flow!TAO TE CHING
2By swfrancisIn this version, there is to much editoralizing on the part of the translator. I would prefer, to have a transliteration of the Chinese. The writing of Lazu Tzu, and it simplicity ends up being color/misrepresented by the translator. This noted, I would be guilty of the same, perhaps if I was doing the translating.Very insightful
5By positrontheDJI love this book. It is filled with wisdom of the ages.Translation not too good

5By planet that can readIt has some parts that are a bit beyond me, ( as I’m only 18 lol). So at times it can be hard to grasp. But of what I understood, it was beautiful & intriguing. If you came as far as reading these comments, I suggest you read this.Translation
