1152 pages, finally finished. It has taken me a daffy amount of time to complete this classic, my main problem being that I was able to put it down, especially while I was reading other books. I would say, however, that it was a very good work with much research and passion throughout. Toward the end, I felt much more of an inclination to its characters and plot, quite tempted to continue with the next books in the series (Tai-Pan, Gai-Jin, King Rat, Noble House, Whirlwind).
