I thought this is nicely produced little book and good value - certainly worth a read. However, although touted as the 'definitive' version, the translator has given the work his own subtle, poetic interpretation layered over the translation - somehow missing the basic power of the Tao Te Ching. Some earlier translation are nowhere near as poetic but are closer to the raw meaning. I would only recommend this book to someone who has already read older translations.

It about the all time philosophy. Jonathan Star did a easy reading translation for 21 st century. I read one Verse everyday.
