Airport bookshops are notoriously terrible. So it was with the fear of God in me that I entered one last month after finishing another book earlier than expected. With a 12 hour flight ahead of me I had to have something to read. Tai-Pan by James Clavell seemed the best of a bad bunch and I bought it.
I have to admit it isn’t half bad. Yes, the characters are unreal and the events unbelievable but like a good Hollywood blockbuster it is entertaining, exciting and an easy read. I almost want to get the next in the series.
