Potkan kráľ (Recenzia)

Sumár recenzie
James Clavellov román Potkan kráľ sa odohráva v singapurskom zajateckom tábore Changi na konci druhej svetovej vojny, kde v neľudských podmienkach vládne jeden muž ako nekorunovaný kráľ. Recenzentka priznala počiatočnú skepsu, no príbeh ju rýchlo pohltil vďaka silnému vykresleniu postáv, autentickej atmosfére a autorovej vynaliezavosti, pričom čítanie vo nej vyvolalo súcit, smútok aj obdiv. Knihu hodnotí 4/5 (obálku 5/5) a odporúča ju čitateľom, ktorí ocenia Clavellove motívy obchodníctva, prefíkanosti a prežitia.
