It's one of those books that everyone should read at least once in their lives (a few times would be better). When I found a copy at B&N I decided to reread it. I remember thinking I should send a copy of it to president bush after he decided to attack Iraq (the point I lost all respect for the man). I know that Smarter Comics are “comics that make you smarter” but I thought the quiz at the end was a bit much (but not enough to change my rating). I think that the Smarter Comics version of The Art of War is a great way to get a basic understanding of The Art of War or a great starting point for any one who thinks they might be interested in reading a more “complete” version later.

So it's more of a “short stories” comic book. The illustrations were well done and the “characters” and “story” changes for different “lessons” that are presented in the book. It only took about 30 minutes to read and I have to admit I was a bit surprised at the quantity and quality of Sun Tzu's philosophy that was in this (comic) book. I wasn't sure what to expect from a comic book version, but I thought it was a great idea. I have read a couple other versions of The Are of War, which I enjoyed a lot.
