惊呆了的好书
A bit wordy but still one of the most marvelous stories ever written. Have to admit that I was intimated by its size but once you dive into it, something just grasp you and draw you into this great adventure till it quietly ends. My very first James Clavell. Stereotypical but in a good way.
确实长，字小行密且厚，但看起来挺爽的。很流畅。里面日本男主后来是三船敏郎演的。故事很好看，文化差异和人物个性虽然有不少，怎么说，商业化的类型感，但整体人物塑造都很有意思。
冗长，读不下去
