Rashomon Gate Audiobook

" A very enjoyable mystery with the added attraction of depicting an interesting era of Japanese history. "

" I listened to the audio book version on cd, not listed among the editions. This is the second of these I've listened to while I deliver mail, and I find the stories engaging and enjoyable. "

" Pretty interesting start to a detective series in sort-of ancient Japan. A little formality with some of the characterizations and plotting, but certainly fits with the time and place. "

" Another great one in this series. "

" Enjoyable mystery/historical fiction. Be patient - the first quarter of the book is pretty slow. Once it gets going it's good. "

" This was on a suggested reading list for our upcoming trip to Japan. Enjoyed it more than I had anticipated. It's a mystery (or mysteries as the case may be) set in Ancient Japan. While not a page turner, it was very readable and gave a little insight into the culture at the time. "

" Another great one with Akitada. "

" This was a nice historical mystery. I really liked the fact that it had a list of characters as well as two maps! The setting of eleventh century Japan was novel. The historical notes in the back were great. I will need to remember this author. "

" very interesting ... i like it "

" Those who know me well know that I will cry at movies, but that I will rarely cry while reading books. Rashomon Gate was that rare book that succeeded to bringing me to tears. It is a mystery set in the eleventh century Japan. If you love historical Japan, you will enjoy this book. "

" I love period detective books, this is great and I will read more...historical context, angst (but not over the top)... "

" Ceritanya biasa saja, sisi latar belakang sejarahnya yang menarik. "

" very interesting ... i like it "

" A very enjoyable mystery with the added attraction of depicting an interesting era of Japanese history. "

" Hanya baca satu bab karena satu dan lain hal. Tapi seru, karena aku suka fiksi Jepang dan ceritanya berkaitan dengan hukum. "

" Another great one in this series. "

" Overall, this was a pretty interesting read. I bought this book for 3 dollars at strand so I was not expecting much. I was pleasantly surprised. It's basically a detective story and plays out just like a movie would. It's not anything original, but a good read nonetheless. "
