"I read this on advice from a friend, a learned friend at that, who said "Who knows what this book is about?" Is it a comedy, an adventure, a gentle lesson in the road to enlightenment? I found it amusing and entertaining - very creative in combining Chinese myths, perspectives, and religion with western views. I liked how the two cultures looked at each other in bemusement. A fun book."
"Mark Salzman's "The Laughing Sutra" is a helluva lot of fun to read. I have nothing to add to the reviews of the other fine folk who enjoyed this book other than to say I'm grateful for the laugh-out loud moments. Unlike "The Soloist", I had no regrets turning the last page of "Sutra.""
"A fun adventure about a Chinese boy who journeys with a mysterious yellow-eyed stranger across China to San Francisco, on a mission to find the immortality-granting Laughing Sutra. I couldn't help but think that this book would be an excellent movie, which may mean that the mix of dialogue and action was just perfect. Pick it up!
It also gave me a glimpse of Chinese history/culture (which sadly, I don't know very much about) both from ancient traditions and the Cultural Revolution, and now I'd definitely like to read more."
