Not really a spoiler at all, but alert for anyone who’s really sensitive… I’m at the part in book 1 with the suggestion of the duck, laughing my arse off. It’s really good so far.

It's really long but the storylines are really, really involved. Very much worth the read or listen. Book was like 900 pages if I remember right.

I remember reading it about the same time the miniseries came out. Yes, it's very long, and to me that was a good thing. I thought it was fantastic, and very, very in depth. It was one of those books that no matter how long, if you got into it, you wished it kept going at the end. It could have gone another 300+ pages just to complete Toranaga's story.

I have read in some reviews that it bogs down and becomes a slog around 500 pages in but keep trucking because the end makes it worth it. Any truth to this?


I don’t remember having that feeling at all when I read it. Was pleasantly surprised at how easy it was to read for long periods of time.

overall a good book but was slightly disappointed on how it ended, which was rather abruptly after all kinds of buildup(some being slow)
