Opal Eye Devil was one of those rare books that made me sad the closer to the end I got. Reading it made me feel like I had been transported beyond the pages to 1900 Shanghai and became physically involved in the story. Riveting!
Opal Eye Devil is Irresistible
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 25 years ago
I picked up a copy of Opal Eye Devil at a November book signing. Much to my delight, it turned out to be a thrilling tale of intrigue, violence and love. It reads like a saga, but there are no wasted words to detract from the riveting pace. I was literally transported to 1900 Shanghai by a bold and memorable cast of characters. The setting, people, customs engrossed me so that I felt like I was living the story. Opal Eye Devil flows with writerly intelligence and possesses a wonderful cinematic quality. The last novel that seized my mind so was James Clavell's Tai-Pan. Simply put, Opal Eye Devil is a great book. Mike
