Title: Second Rate Pablum
Product review: After buying this novel, I read to page 124 then tossed it in the trash where it belongs. "Cloud of Sparrows" has no bearing or relevance on Japanese culture or history. All it is a gross caricature of samurai violence. But what I found most disturbing was that a major publisher was taken in. Well, I think I might try my hand at this game. I know nothing about the history of Russia, but I think I'll change my name to a Russian one, write an historical action adventure set in Russia and submit it to Random House. Heck, they'll publish it, just because I'll use a Russian last name.
