4.0 out of 5 stars Lustbader wins again!, November 19, 1997

By A Customer

This review is from: FLOATING CITY (Mass Market Paperback)

Eric Lustbader writes about the Japanese, their country and their customs like a man very well acquainted with his topic indeed. His descriptive passages crackle with vibrancy. Nicholas Linnear has grown into a hero a bit *too* impressive for my personal tastes--able to manipulate his own life force and massive mega-corporations with casual ease--but still remains the focus of a rip-roaring, high stakes game. This is probably not the best book to start with in either Lustbader's or Linnear's library, but if it's the only one you can find and you have a taste for intrigue, sex, martial arts action and oriental mysticism/politics...do yourself a favor and give it a read.

4.0 out of 5 stars tanjian masterpiece in incomprehensibilty!!!!, May 16, 2002

By A Customer

This review is from: FLOATING CITY (Hardcover)

I love all the authors books due to the simple fact that they can consume hours of time, and after page 50 or so all the characters meld into one to be either honoured, killed or pleasured by our hero - the tanjian Nicholas.

I advise getting this on tape as it is even more fun, to get confused and have a good laugh at - especilly good for long journeys!!!

His other books are good as well esp. Ninja and Miko

3.0 out of 5 stars a good read, May 7, 2010

This review is from: Floating City (Nicholas Linnear Novel) (Mass Market Paperback)

Eric Lustbader is one of a kind. Original is a word for him. The Floating City is an unjsual story and most of his stuff is writeen in the Orient and about the Orient. This is a good read. Very enjoyable for those who like the orient and supense and mystery.
