Summary: This is 10000 times better when read in Chinese
Comment: I am 14 years old and I've read this book a bizillion times in Chinese (it's also wicked long). It is written in "ancient prose" and I find it alot more attractive in theat style. I've also seen the TV series which I would recommend to anyone who understands chinese. You can find it in any local chinese video rental store. This is probably my favorite book. I'm a total fan.

Summary: That's why it's called historic novel and not historic fact
Comment: I've just finished reading the whole book in Chinese for the XXth time. And everytime I read it, I get a different aspect of the book. I was first attracted by the television series on Romance of The Three Kingdoms, and started to read the book itself, it was fantastic, filled with action and tactics in military and politics. Then when I re-read the book again and again, it gave me a deep insight of the cunning of humans, and the philosophy of the Chinese at that time.

But the author Luo Kwang Chung wasn't being fair to every character. ChaoChau was written as an evil conspirator and LiuBei was potraited to be a great hero. But was it really that way? In real history, the time of the Three kingdoms didn't had a clear distinct between evil and good, but the author wrote it in this way as in his own sympathy to Liubei, which in ancient China was more popular for his loyal to the Han dynasty and sympathy to the peasants.

Nevertheless, that's why this is called a historic novel and not 'facts'. So any people reading this book: Read it as a novel and not a history textbook.
