## Customer Reviews

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ 







  
  
    A regal Japan while Europe still had serfs and lice...
  

*by K***R on Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on June 10, 2007*

There are many translations of this and I didn't like this one the best.  I felt that this edition had been "censored", and that is unfortunate.  Also, the organization by subject was a bit heavy-handed and unnecessary.  I think that anyone who has every kept a journal would appreciate The Pillow Book in a less "pre-digested" form.  The first time I read this (in college), it was translated with as little messing with as possible, and for that it deserves five stars...

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ 







  
  
    A classic of its time & culture.
  

*by S***H on Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on October 27, 2019*

I found the book enjoyable, although I was incapable of reading it straight through.  I realize that I'm writing anachronistically, but Shonagon's sense of entitlement makes her generally insufferable.  I kept thinking, the child could've used a good spanking.  A lesson in deprivation might have served her well.

### ⭐⭐⭐ 







  
  
    ABRIDGED VERSION -- Not a complete translation
  

*by D***. on Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on February 12, 2018*

My review here is not of the book itself, but rather to alert readers that this is an ABRIDGED VERSION.  It is not the complete Pillow Book of Sei Shonagon, but rather contains only a portion of the whole work.  I wish this had been more clearly indicated in the product description.  In any case, you should be aware that if you order this version you are not getting the whole thing.
