A review by clarks_dad
Musashi by Eiji Yoshikawa

5.0

Only one word can describe this book: EPIC. Published initially in serial format, this is probably one of the best works of historical fiction I've ever read. Yeah it has cheesey martial arts elements to it, but the author takes very great pains to really develop all of the characters. We see them change as they grow. Should be required reading for any future novelist on how to bring your characters along and give them depth.
