Title: Sizzle to fizzle.
Review: It's interesting that Clavell managed to write such a weak ending that didn't scuttle the rest of the book. This novel is fantastic, don't get me wrong, but the end leaves an empty feeling. It's as though he was winding up for a monster pitch then ends up rolling the ball across the plate. It's one hell of a wind up, though, and that makes the whole read worth while.
