The first reviews of my book are up on Amazon - a 5-star review on Amazon.com and a 4-star one on Amazon.co.uk. My thanks to both reviewers for reading the book and then taking the time to offer their thoughts on it. “Milligan and the Samurai Rebels” has also been picked up by the US-based book group The Eclective and highlighted in its wonderfully named Books That Don’t Suck feature. American vernacular aside, all I ever aspired to was to write a book that “didn’t suck”, so I am very pleased!
More specifically, my aim was always to write something that was entertaining (“one hell of a funny and entertaining read” - US review) AND educational (“I learned a great deal about Samurai and Japanese history” - ibid). In other words, “Light reading on a crucial transition in Japanese history” (UK review). It is great to think that for these two readers at least those goals have been met.
Very grateful if others would also consider writing a review, or alternatively clicking “Yes” on the “Do you agree with this review?” button for the two reviews, if of course you do agree.
