### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ 5.0 out of 5 stars







  
  
    An intricate, fascinating book
  

*by M***N on Reviewed in the United States on May 17, 2014*

The only bad thing about this book is that it didn't keep going.  Or at least a sequel taking the characters to another level.  I had read Shogun twice with around a 10 year separation and enjoyed it as much the second time as the first.  With Gai-Jin I had read it around 15 years ago and this time around enjoyed it even more.  And I liked it better, though not much, thanShogun.  One reviewer downgraded this book because of so many characters.  All of the characters were interesting, human and intelligent.  Loved the complexity.  He also didn't like the inaccuracy of history.  Too bad.  This was a fun, interesting, hard to put down book that I thoroughly enjoyed.  My only problem is that I put the rest of my commitments on hold in order to keep reading.  Really wish there was a more direct sequel.  I've started Nobel House the other day and so far, not thrilled.  I had read it before and found it ok though not nearly as good as Gai-Jin which is my favorite Clavell novel.

    After 1000 pages of reading, i was disappointed it ended.
  

*by M***D on Reviewed in the United States on April 12, 2024*

This might be the weakest of Clavell's books in respect to tight plots and action--HOWEVER.  As an epic historical fiction it ranks with the best.  One plot decision about two thirds through the book really tied it all up into a worthwhile bundle.  Once you finish this--and hopefully the preceding books in the series--you will have an excellent understanding of the West's complex history with Asia and Asia's view of the West.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ 5.0 out of 5 stars







  
  
    Not a first edition
  

*by F***H on Reviewed in the United States on April 3, 2024*

The book was not a first edition like advertised, but for the price, I kept it anyway.
