All of James Patterson's books are either an easy, quick read. Alex Cross is the dectective so you follow him, learn about his life, and go along for the dective work.
This book was very boring at first but once i began to read it, it became very interesting.
It is interesting to me that Clavell's novels no longer seem to be available individually except for Tai-Pan. During their hey-day, Nobel House was my favorite, but Shogun seemed to be the most popular by far. I am biased as I was living in Hong Kong and 'Nobel House' was written about the era in which I lived in Hong Kong. Clavell got it right. He must have had a wonderful research staff because he nailed the small details so that those of us who lived in Hong Kong felt like he must have lived their too. Apparently that was true of his other novels for other places as well. Great reads.
Beautiful. Absolutely beautiful.
