Summary: A true homage to the spirit of Hong Kong
Review: What can I say?The book says it all.Really. I mean if anyone has read Kane and Abel,when they were young this is a worthy book to graduate to.As most of the other reviewers so say,I just did not want the story to end.It was that good. It is a book that will satisfy anyone,and i really mean anyone. James Clavell is a master of fiction.

Summary: Great Book - Maybe his Best.
Review: If you liked Shogun, you'll love Noble House. I couldn't put it down. One of my favorite books of all time.

Summary: Excellent!
Review: I am busy reading this book for the second time and I love it. It got me to writing Tai-Pan, King Rat, and Gai-Jin(uh!!). I liked the other two. Casey is a wonderful character and the drama between her, Gornt, and Dunross is good too. You must read this book.

Summary: A MUST READ
Review: i'm only 16, and i loved this book. i've read all of Mr. Clavell's asian saga novels except whirlwind (i can't find any in stock). it's not good as Tai-pan or Shogun, but it's still one of the best book i've read. if you read this you'll have a very hard time letting go because of all the interesting stuff that happens from previous books like the four coins, Struan's and Dunross', and the pirates of Lotus. one thing i was dissapointed was that i had a hard time understanding the stock dealings they went through.

Summary: THE BEST BOOK I'VE EVER READ IN MY LIFE!!!!!!!!!
Review: The Noble House is by far one of the best of Clavell's works! I got so caught up in the drama between Quillan Gornt and Ian Dunross that I couldn't put the book down. I didn't want it to ever end, and when it did I was very very very upset!! I enjoyed the book so much that I found out I wanted to learn more about the characters. I learned about the stock market and bank counsels, etc. I loved this book and I recommend it to everyone and anyone!! It's the kind of book that once you start reading it, you'll never ever ever want to put down. If you're looking for a book with drama, passion, intenseness, murder, mystery, and thrill, you should read The Noble House. It's a wonderful tie in of all of Clavell's books and I simply loved it!

Summary: This Book Will Grab You and Hold On!
Review: This novel will grab you in the first five pages like no other I have read. Although some of the subplots become a bit Byzantine, you hold your breath through the twists and turns of a crisis where the firm fights a corporate takeover, kidnapping, murder, and love affairs.The novel Nobel House is all the more interesting because it is based on a fictional version of the trading giant Jardine Matheson: a company which was founded by the colorful opium smuggler/Taipan William Jardine in the 1830's and 40's in Canton and later Hong Kong (he was called the Iron Headed Old Rat by the Chinese). Jardine's decendents persently control this company which employs over 200,000 people around the world.

Summary: Excellent!
Review: Gripping story that prompted me to start reading Taipan, King Rat, Shogun... Highly recommended!
