Quick Review From Reading Group.

"Rip-roaring adventure tale, highly coloured and often really funny. A great read for times when you have a long wait." [6/10]

"It was a very forgettable book, and a hard read." [5/10]

"Four hundred pages too long. Intense emotional scenes engaging, as were diversions into Chinese and Californian Gold Rush history, but cartoonish in long sections." [4/10]
