Title: Drivel...utter drivel
Product review: I enjoyed this book, until I reached page 350, and realized that there were 800 pages to go and I knew exactly where the book would end up. I'm taking a class on the politics of Feudal Japan, and we discuss this book at length.Leaving Clavell's gross inaccuracies aside, we still have the fact that this is a rather poorly written work. One can tell that Clavell is trying to throw underlying themes and messages into the mix, but they're thinly veiled.If you're interested in good historical fiction, I urge you to invest your time into a better-written title, such as "Carter Beats the Devil."Leave this one on the shelf, save the 8 bucks.
