Reading Notes:The Monkey King, Part B

I was surprised that Sun Wu didn't bow to the Lord of the Heavens, but I'm glad he wasn't punished in the beginning. For his actions afterward, I have no excuse for him. It almost reminded me of Lucifer from the Bible, who also let pride get to his head. He thought he could be on the same level as God, like Sun Wu and the Lord of the Heavens. To be honest, I had almost forgotten about his many transformations until he began using them against the warriors. What an ending, I loved the twist about the pillar being Buddha's finger! I'm glad Sun Wu learned his lesson. It's probably been my most favorite story so far. I liked all the action.
