Used good.
ONE OF THE MOST ENTHRALLING NOVELS OF THE YEAR...
EDGE OF-THE-SEAT READING... WONDERFULLY WELL-WRITTEN
...A BRILLIANT NOVEL'
DAILY MAIL
In EMPIRE OF THE SUNJG Ballard has produced a mesmerizing
hypnotically compelling novel of war, of starvation and survival, of
internment camps and death marches, which blends searing honesty with
an almost hallucinatory vision of a world thrown utterly out of joint. It isa
novel which shatters the myths of the Second World War in Asia-and
which immediately takes its place as a classic work of modern Literature.
Rooted as it is in the author's own disturbing experience of war in our
time, it is one of that small and select group of novels by which the
Twentieth Century will be not only remembered but judged.
'A BOOK OF QUITE ASTONISHING AUTHORITY AND POWER, ONE
OF THE VERY BEST NOVELS OF RECENT YEARS. I WAS EXCITED.
MOVED AND IMPRESSED BY IT'
