Review From a Japanese Reader - Post#6


I have received my first review from Japan:

'Firstly, I want to say thanks for introducing me to this book.
I was read this book on a commuter train every morning and evening, 
and I had became a member of the sailors of the M/V. ASPATRIA.
Sometime, I forgot to get off my station, because my body was being on-board.

This is ship's adventure novel it was like a Disney movie like fun.


I had found in this novel that there are the oldest European Chinatown communities
in Liverpool and found good name bar "Anchor" , this name seems to be port of town, tobacco smoke and ship s whistle, I had felt in the background in the bar'.
