Musashi by Eiji Yoshikawa
3.0
3.5 stars
Firstly some good points: beautifully written, musashi is a facinating main character that has depth and kojiro as well,the story has a good ending as well.
The bad: too long, you chould cut half of the story and not much whould change, the other characters felt two dimensional at best and unrealistic, otsu was annoying and naive on the verge of stupidity, just not very complex or compelling supporting characters, also i dont know much about japanese way of life so i think i missed some stuff that felt weird for a westener..
