Title: No Shogun
Product review: It's hard for me to imagine anyone other than a Delacorte marketing executive comparing Cloud of Sparrows to Shogun. While Cloud of Sparrows has a decent plot, the writing is fairly bland, the characters shallow, and the dialogue forced. I lived in Japan for three years, and as much as I wanted to love this book, I quit at page 250. On the other hand, I've read Shogun twice.
