I read this in college and didn't get it. Monkey's deux ex machina spells just made no sense to me at all. I just finished reading it to T as a bedtime story and we had a great time with it. It's a fun children's book as soon as you're comfortable saying 'piss' and 'shit' to your kid. T loved it. The Buddhist metaphors are much clearer to me now. Next, we might explore some of the film and TV versions.
We're moving on to Arthurian legend next. ;-)
