3.0 out of 5 stars
Enjoyable if you know what to expect,
By A Customer
This review is from: Mr Moto: 4 Complete Novels (Hardcover)
Provided that you don't come in with unbelievably high expectations, this book can be pretty enjoyable. Actually, it is a collection of four different books. The second book in the collection, "Think Fast, Mr. Moto," is the best of the four.Just a little background: Mr. Moto is a Japanese secret agent (these books were written before Pearl Harbor). Although he is the title character in all of the books, the main character is usually an American travelling abroad who crosses paths with Mr. Moto. The American invariably finds himself tangled in a web of crime and/or espionage, and he always has questions as to the trustworthiness of Mr. Moto. These questions usually cause the American to end up working against Moto for a time. In the end, however, it is always revealed that the mysterious Mr. Moto really is the "good guy" and the American comes around in the end. The stories all follow a definite formula; by the last two books in the collection, you know pretty much what is going to happen several pages in advance. However, if you take it for what it is--light reading from a different era--it is perfectly enjoyable.

This review is from: Mr Moto: 4 Complete Novels (Hardcover)
This is a "must have" book for your library if you like mystery and/or detective stories. Better than Sherlock Holmes! I only wish that there was a "Complete Mr. Moto" on the market. That way I could be sure that I have every single Mr. Moto story in my library.
