Reviews

[Adrian Sirbu · Rating 5 out of 5]

Gai-Jin, numarul 2, a 14-a citita in 2023, a 6-a din Saga Asiatica a lui James Clavell.
Sunt convins ca ati vazut cel putin un serial extraordinar de-a lungul vietii, pe care sa il consumati zilnic, cu 2-3 episoade sau chiar 17 odata.
Asa este si cu Saga Asiatica, aceeasi actiune continua, gandire in ansamblu, rasturnari de situatie, drame, dragoste, toate acestea in toate cele 6 carti de pana acum (mai are inca 6🤤😁).
O sa va tin la curent si va recomand din tot sufletul cartile: Shogun, Tai-Pan, Gai-jin, exact in ordinea aceasta ca sa aib sens.💯💯
