Title: ON THE TOP TEN LIST
Product review: On the list of top-ten, this may be number one. Everyone should read this book. I'd advise it for those over 15, because some of the content is hard to understand, and there is a language transition. But it is a great story, and it really keeps one thinking and reading. It places you in the middle of Japan as you follow the soon-to-be-intermingled lives of dozens of characters. There is English piliot Blackthorne, who ends up on Japan's shore by mistake and ends up bending the situation to fit his own needs. There is the brilliant japanese genral, Lord Toranaga, who keeps all the characters under his thumb. There is Mariko-san, who unwittingly becomes tangled in a romantic plot of her own. There is the Father Alvito, who is working for the benefit of his church, and nothing will stand in his way... or so he thinks. As all these plots meet and unfold, readers will find themselves turning the pages to unravel the next battle, the nexy mystery, the next occurence.
