Thank you for the review. This book seems to be a thriller with some level of suspense, and a bit of historic fiction. It must be interesting to follow the story of Yi and find out how he recovered from the disgrace caused to him by Japan.

At first, I was nervous when you said it's not an easy read, but it seems like by the halfway point, it settles. I like historical fiction, and you've given it 4/4 stars so I'm going to give this one a read. Thanks.

This seems to be an interesting historical fiction story involving the Asian peninsular. If you enjoy adventure, this is for you.

The Abalone Ukulele spans continents and cultures to tell an ambitious tale of revenge and redemption. Crossland brings early 20th century Asia alive through careful historical detail and multi-faceted characters like the Korean outcast Skookum Yi. The complex writing and many new terms make this a challenging read, but Crossland helps orient the reader by providing a glossary and links. Once immersed in the meticulously crafted world, I was invested in rooting for Yi and his American naval allies. Crossland weaves real historical events into a creative adventure that teaches as much as it entertains. Worth the effort for fans of historical fiction.

[Esther Deekor]

This book sounds too complex, even the title emanates that. I'll pass on this one as I'm not a fan of sci-fi novels plus, the book's complexity. Anyways, congratulations on BOTD!!
