Clavell's First Great Novel,
By Jeffrey T. (Michigan) - See all my reviews
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: King Rat (Hardcover)
James Clavell's own experience in a brutal P.O.W. camp allowed him to write this novel with an insight unique to very few people. I loved this novel, however I would only recommend this book to an older audience. The reason being is Clavell's ability to describe human behavior is best understood by people who have life experience, and have seen what human beings are capable of. King Rat gives an excellent picture of the two extremes of humanity; ultimate altruism and terrible abuse and exploitation of others. Clavell also gives an excellent view of race and culture between the many groups of peoples forced together because of the war.
