Story
Considered one of China's great classical novels, Wu Ch'êng-ên's Journey to the West was translated by Arthur Waley in abridged form as Monkey in 1942 and has delighted English readers ever since. It is a riveting adventure story about a priest's quest to obtain holy Buddhist scriptures for the Tang emperor; joining him on this rollicking journey: Sandy, Pigsy, and the mischievous monkey king, Sun Wukong, whose flying cloud and magic cudgel are never far from his infamous deeds.

Story
Japan is a single nation, but its origins are so old, and often, so fragmented, that unified mythology and folklore can be difficult to point to. Still, there are some key texts, tales, and characters we can focus on which will give us a pretty good sense of Japanese mythology. In this audiobook, you'll discover stories of mystery, horror, and romance while simultaneously learning about the Japanese culture.

Paying attention to every detail, Amy Hughes collected many stories, myths, legends, and tales of the pagan Scandinavian rituals, gods, and heroes. Narrated in such a descriptive way, the stories will transfer you to a time long gone, and you’ll feel as if you’re been a witness to the Viking’s incredible history! But this book does not only present the mythological, abstract world of Scandinavian beliefs and religion.

Enjoyable book
Lots of information and stories, it's more like a combination of fiction and nonfiction. Personally, I liked the fiction side of it, because the stories contained morals, and they were based on some deeply rooted beliefs from the ancient East of the world.

Nice
Very good book, if you ask me. The stories about the monkey who became king, the gods and goddesses, and the historical information about the Chinese culture during the time when they believed this stuff... all very good. I have no other words for it. Get it if this is up your alley.

All of it
These are all of the books in the series. Wow. Talking about a great deal for your credit. Yes, I liked the narrator, and yes, I also liked the stories and the background information.
I recommend this one because it's the best deal for your buck. If you buy it at full price, it's less of a good deal of course. But still a nice book.

dishonest
This book does not reveal its source. Who is John Feisel? What authority does he have for writing this. The text keeps talking about the present China but never references anything from World War I I or after. At one point the author says he was present at 1917 meeting in Peking. The text sounds like it was cribed from some anti-Chinese British or American imperialist missionary. Should not be sold as providing any serious knowledge of Chinese history or mythology. It itself is mythology.

More condescending than the book itself is the narration
I had listened to a lot of mythology related books on Audible, ranging from Greek to Norse mythologies. All of which were marvellously written and masterfully narrated. The high ratings of this title then gave me the impression that it should be of similar quality. Unfortunately that’s not the case.
The book itself started with early western fantasy of a specific group of the Chinese people in early 1900s, so you can imagine how stereotypical and imperial it could be like. I hesitate to slap the label “racism” on works that represent an ethnic culture without a proper or relatively comprehensive representation, so I’ll call this part of the title “ignorant” instead. Imagine introducing the Greeks without its most stellar philosophers, or the romans only through its corrupted emperors and downfall. The narration for this part is unsympathetic und condescending, maybe that was a “feature” rather than a “bug” given the writing itself.
The second part of the book on the Chinese mythology interweaves myths and comparison of Chinese mythology and those of other cultures, I appreciate the general concept, but it would’ve been better if the book could separate the stories from comparative literature, such that I as a listener can feel more engaged with the stories, and then go through the comparative analysis if I feel like challenging my literary brain. Narration is not so good, it’s as if a poorly ranked college professor reading off of slides composed of contents copied from Wikipedia.
Overall I won’t recommend this book unless you can get it for free or have run out of things to do in life. I wish there are books on Chinese mythology on par with Stephen Fry’s Greek mythology series or Neil Gaiman’s Norse Mythology.
(I’ll come back to update the rest of the comment when I finish. )
