i think this book is very great. we can have a lot of moral value and we can know or imagine the samurai way. how the samurai loyal with his master.how the samurai always remember and do what should they do to revenge his master died,and how the samurai have pride with their samurai way.

in this story is told about 47 Ronin( samurai who have no master) tried  to revenge his master died. they tried to kills a person who made his master do the seppuku ceremony. seppuku( "stomach-cutting") is a form of Japanese ritual suicide by disembowelment. in the end of story,they are successfully revenge his master died with behead his master enemy (a person who are very responsible and make his master died) and finally they do seppuku ceremony together because they are samurai.

What did you like least about this book/article ?

in the end of the story is not very interesting, because when the samurai had killed an enemy of his master, they did not resist when it was caught by security guards from the shogun.
