Shanghai by David Rotenberg

autumn_plum's review

3.0

Not what I would go to if I wanted profound characters and the story-telling was decent albeit not the best, but the thing is I read this book purely for fun, and fun it was(granted there were massacres that were pretty horrendous, but there were quite a few chapters that were pure awesomeness).

Shanghai is not a bad book, but it is a book that is too long. If you are going to write a long book, you have to characters that justify the length. Shanghai lacks this. Many of the characters are interchangable and lack real depth. Rutherford, who does something similar, does not make this mistake. Shanghai is good book in terms of place, but not character.
