Book Reviews of Tai-Pan (Asian Saga)
Book Review: Come With Me Now To Those Thrilling Days
Summary: 5 Stars
King Rat got all of the Good reviews and Shogun got the big miniseries deal, but if you love Jame Clavall this is the one. The sweep of history with blood, sex and big business, this is the Count of Monte Christo breaking the Paris Stock Exchnage and Indiana Jones fighting his way through China. Turn the first page and read, "Buy a coffin..." if you can stop this really isn't for you, if you can't there's good news and bad, there are more books but the master is dead. No matter the ones he finished before his death are all delicious and low carb. Read this first and then read Noble House, Whirlwind and Gai Jan and you'll start the new year right. Be a complete rat and buy Tai Pan and give it as a gift. This works especially well if you own a bookstore, because once read the rest surley have to follow. James Clavell, writer, Hong Kong Dan and gentleman...and perdition to his enemies!
