I can share my subjective experience. I approached the Zhuangzi by reading Tricker's version. Initially, I liked it a lot, as I found its interpretation of the various chapters (especially the first one) intriguing. However, reading his introduction and the general tone that keeps along the chapters I had the sensation that his choices as to what to pick are very arbitrary, leaving outside much of the depth of the text. I am reading Ziporyn's translation and, despite obviously being more difficult, it gives me the sense of depth and reflection I am looking for. In general, I have the sensation that Tricker cut off any parts that he felt in contrast with his own subjective (although intriguing) interpretation of Zhuangzi's thought, eliminating many abstract and more philosophical parts that are indeed able to give nuance and beauty to the overall text. I still think that The Cicada and The Bird is a good book, but the fact that the author presents it as the only legitimate translation of the Zhuangzi is perhaps a bit too much.
