My bet for the most satisfyingly popular novel of the year ... It has power, it has violence, subtlety and lots, lots more ... Clavell never puts a foot wrong ... Get it, read it, you'll enjoy it mightily -- Daily Mirror SHOGUN is a huge exotic, blood-stained canvas of sixteenth century but still medieval Japan, rival warlords and proselytising Jesuits, geishas, seppuku, samurai with the death-with and a shipwrecked Elizabethan -- Guardian Unquestionably the best historical novel of its kind since Anthony Adverse -- Los Angeles Times I can't remember when a novel has seized my mind like this one. It's irresistable, maybe unforgettable. Clavell ... creates a world so enveloping you forget who and where you are -- New York Times Mr Clavell tells his story brilliantly -- The Times One of the great page turners of all time -- Good Book Guide
