review 1: James Clavell is clearly a gifted writer. His Shogun books have taken me on a journey to far away lands where I've learned about samurai, ninja, ladies of The Willow Word, geisha, karma, daimyos and seppuku, honor and traitors. Clalvell's writing casts a spell over his readers and draws them into long and complicated tales full of so many dually named characters that it can make your head spin. His books take a commitment to read. I enjoyed these first two books of the Shogun series. That said, I didn't love them. I attribute Clavell's art of writing as the reason that I never reached a point where I wanted to give up and put them down for good. I have to respect that when all is said and done.
review 2: Compreendemos que a guerra, afinal, ainda está longe. E... morencontramo-nos num jogo de paciência, onde cada parte espera que o outro dê um passo em falso para desta forma ir de encontro à vitória. Ao mesmo tempo, vemos como Blackthorne mudou, abraçando de vez a cultura oriental, chegando mesmo a desprezar os seus colegas, bárbaros e vivendo no meio dos "imundos" etas (população cuja ocupação lidava com morte, sendo muitos deles executores ou curtidores). less
