Book Review of Shibumi

Shibumi
Shibumi
Author: Trevanian
Genre: Mystery, Thriller & Suspense
Book Type: Paperback
reviewed on
Helpful Score: 1


I absolutely love this book! I give it away and recommend it to friends and strangers! The author goes off on political tirades now and then, and since it is the only book of his I have read so far, I'm not sure if it was just the character development or his own views. Either way, the main character Nicholai Hel fascinates me, as does the idea of shibumi. I will admit, the characters hold this story for me, but the intrigue is also captivating. He weaves a good mystery, Mr. Trevanian does. I hope you like it as well.
