First I was skeptic about reading this book as I am not a big fan of this genre. I love books based on a true history but not a fan of fiction. However, this books just sucked me in by mind-blowing plot, horrific history events and very exciting action!!! I truly recommend this book just to educate people in Japanese history, Christian holocaust. Secondly it’s very well written and has a very exciting plot with lots of characters . I would love to see a movie based on this book!
