Solid 1920 ripping yarn , racist from end to end. The solid ex-military hero treking to find a lost city of white men in the Gobi desert (against the resistance of the evil Chinese) is fairly stock; he can beat any four Asians in a fist fight as a mat ...more |

answered a question about
The Ghost:
Pretty much all of them. Some so bad I wanted to throw the book across the room (the bit where the deceased ghostwriter leaves a pointless 'clue' in chapter heading for no earthly reason) |

| Quite fun, and a wickedly accurate portrayal of the Blairs (‘any resemblance…’) but the plot is absurd on several levels. The comedy did not work for me but authors need a change sometimes…a light unchallenging read which could have been more excitin ...more | |

“There is a story about a traveller chased by a tiger to the edge of an abyss. The man took hold of a vine and started to climb down when he saw an angry dragon at the bottom of the abyss, and when he looked up, the tiger was lashing its tail above. As he hung on, a mouse started to gnaw away at the vine he was clinging to. The man was ready for death when he noticed a wild strawberry growing next to him, so he plucked it. It was the sweetest he had ever tasted.”
