5.0 out of 5 stars Encapsulated, 16 May 2003

By A Customer

This review is from: World of Suzie Wong (Paperback)

Richard Mason has an addictive writing style that creates an inviting and intoxicating world and web of people. His descriptions of Hong Kong and the people who lived there at that time are accurate, witty and enduring. Suzie Wong is the most realistic character I have met in fiction and I feel all the wiser for having known her.

5.0 out of 5 stars The most romantic and well written book I have ever read!, 27 Oct 1998

By A Customer

This review is from: World of Suzie Wong (Paperback)

Tells the story of a British artist who falls in Love with a prostitute in Hong Kong.

Deliciously romantic and one of the best books I have ever read. An easy read. A weepy.

4.0 out of 5 stars a little treat, 2 Jan 2007

By	J. I. De Beresford "safemouse" (Farnham) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

This review is from: World of Suzie Wong (Paperback)

As I read this book I wondered if it was fact or fiction. I had assumed it was fact and indeed its description of people and situations seemed a little too real to be combined with imagination and guesswork. In particular, the character of Suzie. I found myself really quite taken with her. On the other hand, it had so many ups and downs I began to suspect a fictitious plot. I will leave it for you to find out which it is. This book is closer to the Jane Austen spectrum of things in its knowledge of people than say, a Mills and Boon novel, and it gets quite spiritual at times. I think it is a classic but at the same time it is an easy read. A romance you can race through. In terms of its moral outlook it has none of the stuffyness of 1950s films. Sex wasn't invented in 1963, afterall. Which maybe explains why there were so many people in it prior to this.
