Book Reviews of King Rat
Book Review: not immoral
Summary: 5 Stars
this book is surely one of the best. its meaning is crystal clear : in life better strong than weak. the fact is that the king doesn't steal food or money like those weak officers , he just buys low ans sells high. what clavell wants to say to us is that making money out of other people's stupidity is much better than being stupid.Book Review: roWz
Summary: 4 Stars
This is the first book that I've read by James Clavell and I'll have to say I will most likely be reading more of them. I chose to read this book as a history assignment and it is perfectly historically accurate. It shows the struggles POWs went through where tobacco is such a prized possession men stoop as low as to pick others used tobacco from the ground. The plot line is slow to realize but becomes more evident as the book becomes harder to read (pages 150 on). Overall the book really makes us feel for the people that fought for us in WW2.
