The Art of War by Sun Tzu: 9/10

I've heard so much about this book from tons of cultural references and what not, but when I saw it in B&N a couple weeks ago for $5 I had to pick it up. It's pretty awesome. Very simply put but ingenious. I've been trying to apply his teachings to my every day life in terms of dealing with confrontations and relationships with people, and I've actually found some of them to be very effective in a positive way.

My only complaint is that it might be TOO simply put. I thought that his methods and ideas would be delved into a bit deeper - each chapter is only 4-5 pages long.
