Perhaps it was this particular translation, but the writing felt bland and full of unnecessary plot. It’s definitely not a book I would pick up and read for an engaging story because it was slow with many anti-climatic moments. (I read it for school.) Nevertheless, knowing the book's roots and ancient history makes it ann impressive and creative story that teaches of morals and culture.
