James Clavell (19211994) was a novelist, screenwriter, director, and World War II veteran and prisoner of war. It tells a historical fiction account of the arrival of John Blackthorne. My bet for the most satisfyingly popular novel of the year. In this review we examine 'Shogun', a miniseries from 1980 based off of James Clavells popular novel of the same name. One of the great page turners of all time * Good Book Guide * FX has unveiled the full cast for its updated take on James Clavell’s Shgun. Mr Clavell tells his story brilliantly * The Times * creates a world so enveloping you forget who and where you are * New York Times * I can't remember when a novel has seized my mind like this one. Unquestionably the best historical novel of its kind since Anthony Adverse * Los Angeles Times * 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 * Get it, read it, you'll enjoy it mightily * Daily Mirror * It has power, it has violence, subtlety and lots, lots more. My bet for the most satisfyingly popular novel of the year.
