right on James Clavell's book rock Shogun,Taipan,Nobel House especially

king rat is okey but its not like his other four books.

[nuno]

King Rat is not bad though it is not as "deep" and as "complicated" as the other Clavell novels. Compared to Shogun, it is a short story. He just dealt with the story of the fall of the king as seen through the eyes of Marlowe. Hardship and survival in a Japanese prison camp.
