Book Review: A stinker
Summary: 1 Stars
I like James Clavell. I liked "King Rat" very much, and later I enjoyed both "Shogun" and "Tai-Pan". So why did I find this book so dull, so boring, in fact, that I didn't finish it? The characters are uninteresting, the events trivial, the politics weird. The book's understanding of business and business practice is naive. Really, it could have been ghost-written by Harold Robbins. And the depictions of modern Chinese are not quaint and amusing, as in the distant world of "Tai-Pan", but racist.
