Heaven's Net Is Wide: The First Tale of the Otori Audiobook

" It was okay. I don't think it really need to be written but it gave some back story to the first three. "

" A well written complex story that challenges the reader. A substance filled prequel to the Otori trilogy that fills in all the needed backdrop. "

" Aku ngedit baru sampe halaman 120. Bukunya mungkin akan lebih bagus dari KISAH KLAN OTORI 1: ACROSS THE NIGHTINGALE FLOOR. "

" I ended up reading this book in about 5 sittings - and I don't know why, because it was pretty good. I did get into her other books a lot easier! "

" Wasn't into this book as much as the others. Took me longer to finish. Kept setting it down to read other books. "

" My interest flagged during the fourth book in the series to which this is the prequel, and I just decided to give it a miss. "

" Another tale of the Otori, this time the prequel. I highly recommend this well written series of love & revenge set in feudal Japan. "

" A good prequel, but a bit too difficult to hold on until the end. "

" I read this one before the main series. It was a great read and actually scored it higher than the trilogy. "

" This book was written after the Otori series, but I would recommend reading it first. It is by far my favorite of all of them and really helps set the stage. "

" This book is the first in chronological order of the series, however it was written after the first book of the trilogy. If you plan to read the Tales of Otori series read it first. "

" A simply written tale but, if you like Shogun-like stories of feudal Japan, it's extremely satisfying and, ultimately, hard to put down. This is the recently released prequel of a trilogy that I listened to on CD and enjoyed. "

" I'm kind of a nut when it comes to Japanese samurai tales and movies. I enjoyed this proloque and I think I will enjoy reading the entire series. Highly recommended for all those with an interest in this type of genre. "

" too many details, too predictable "

" I love Lian Hearn's style of writing. Was blown away from start to finish! I adore Shigeru and his strength of character - one of my favourites! <br/> "

" A wonderful prequel to a great series in a mythical Japan. Love it! "

" going well, had to return to library, will re-borrow soon and fin. "

" A superb, outstanding piece of literature. "

" i absolutely loved this book, it gives so much more depth to the characters. "

" I was skeptical about this book since none of the others in the series had lived up to the first book, Across The Nightingale Floor. I was pleased to find that it was almost as good. The adventure and intrigue was back. "

" The best of the series. It's amazing that a prequel (where I know how it is all going to end) can be such a page turner! I was addicted to this book until I finished it, and now I'm jonesing to re-read for the first in the series. "

" The book seemed a little unnecessary after the original trilogy. Although it was great to see certain relationships and scenes played out. A good easy read. "
