Any one ever heard or read it? And also what is your opinion of it?

I've read it. I really enjoyed it, although at times i thought it was a bit long-winded and boring (e.g when they decribed in detail the degree, longitude etc of the voyage). The majority of it was pretty interesting, especially the depiction of the boats and the grandness of them.

I'm not sure how much of it is true though, otherwise, parts of the history of explorers would be inaccurate to an extent.

I've seen a Chinese program talking about the voyages mentioned in 1421.

any one else?
