A review by robyn161
Gai-Jin by James Clavell

1.0

I'm afraid that like most of the other reviewers here I just had to abandon this one mainly because of a lack of focus on any central character. I was listening to the audiobook version which was 50 hours long, I got 20 hours in and had to abandon it. Virtually nothing happened in 20 GODDAMN HOURS!! Shogun is one of my favourite books but unfortunately this reads like bad fan fiction or a really early first draft of Shogun. So much needless description about nothing and the way it flits from character to character to character you have no real time to become invested in anyone.
