Mizuki's Reviews > 教父Ⅲ：最后的教父

Mario Puzo's The Last Don translation in simplified Chinese......well to tell the truth the translation itself is...........messy, the translator clearly didn't get many of the English/American slang and some of the words simply got translated WRONGLY, so it's very off putting.

Plus, to make matter worse, there is one rape scene in the novel and due to the shitty books censorship in mainland China (which I hate), this scene got cut out in a really clumsy manner, readers most likely won't know what is going on in this scene because the whole paragraphs got cut up so badly. That's so insulting to the readers, it feels like the fools within the Chinese government believes readers cannot handle reading about one rape scene when there has already been people getting murdered, their corpses gotten sank into the sea and all this violence shit in the story.

*sighs* At least I borrowed this book from the library and reading in Chinese took a lot less effort and energy than the original English version.

Last but not least, although I'm glad in this novel women are treated as people who rightfully have their own desires, careers and stuff but it is still icky when Mr. Puzo talked about Hollywood actresses have to use sex in exchange for leading roles and stuff. Completely icky.
