Negative Positive
Title: disappointing
Review: After reading Shogun and Tai-pan, I was expecting that Gai-jin would be of the same quality, it wasn't. The story moves far too slowly. This 1200 page novel could easily have been half that size. The story itself was a good one, but I was hard pressed to spend the time to finish it.Gai-jin may be an okay novel, but is doesn't measure up to Clavell's previous works. It's a sad end to the career of a great author.
