Gai-Jin by James Clavell

2.0

Alas, I don't think I'll ever finish this book. I picked it up because Clavell's "Shogun" was amazing, but "Gai-Jin" failed to live up to my expectations. I made the effort to slog through 400 pages, but, having done, I'm still searching for a main plot to follow. Unsure who to sympathize with, confused with where this is going and uninvolved emotionally with the characters, I can't see taking the time to read yet another 600 pages. Clavell failed to develop his characters and a multitude of story lines left me feeling confused and uninterested in anyone's final fate.
