I remember seeing Clavell's books on the shelves in bookstores and libraries, but never read any of them. Started on Shogun once upon a time, but got bored with it.
One of the many pastiches of Holmes was titled The Giant Rat of Sumatra, which wasn't bad, for a pastiche. Rex Stout, the creator of Nero Wolfe, couldn't decide if pastiches were vampirism or cannibalism, but disapproved of them all, saying that the pastiche writers should "roll their own."
Don't use my blog to sell your products, whether it be goods, services, or Islam. Don't insult me or other commenters. Other than that I'm pretty tolerant.
Remember that WW2 book by Clavell, King Rat?
ReplyDeleteThat's a Roaster.
