Short and fast paced. Although written as a summary of military tactics, I understand the wide appeal of this collection. The strategies and reflections Sun Tzu writes about can be applied mindfully to many situations beyond the battle field. Some chapters are more applicable than others. All in all, a nice way to prompt thought, but not as deep and fleshed out as I was expecting. I suspect people find this easier to digest because of its concision. It's easier to apply an aphorism to your life than a full blown theory or framework.
