Most books of over a thousand pages generally have a lot of boring 'filler' sequences. Not this one - the action is non-stop.
This novel is breathtaking, a classic epic that everyone should read. Clavell writes with an enormous amount of skill, his tale weaved cleverly with both wit and grace throughout. Japanese history and culture is portrayed through the eyes of an Englishmen in the 17th century, whom ultimately adopts their lifestyle as preferrable to his own. We go through this journey with him step by step, via both tragedy and triumph, each stage an absolute joy to read.
One of the best books I've ever read, I'm sure I'll read this book again and again.
Karma, neh?...less
