This is a complex book - excellent for reading ICHING. Beautifully done. The only reason I didn't give it a 10 was because it waxes a little poetic (as it should be!) as the author is trying to blend eastern and western mind and it doesn't quite work/fit for me in all parts. I find that personally frustrating. Maybe because I'm being confronted with something I don't know and that doesn't feel comfortable. Like I'm missing something....
