One of the most boring books I've ever read. I kept reading as I thought there would be a break through moment. There wasn't! It's badly written, the story is pointless, there's little to invest in with the characters, the dialogue is not believable.
There are some good lessons in this but, they seem to have been skipped over (e.g. the "Tactics" and the "Maxims") taking only a few pages, will the nonsense story is endless. The teachings in this would have been expressed better as a set of instructions.
